Need For Speed Unbound Graphics Settings Explained - The Ultimate Graphics Settings Deep Dive - 4K

[@Jakiyyyyy]

Texture - Medium (higher as VRAM allows) Shadow - Medium/Ultra Texture filtering - Ultra Ambient Occlusion - AAO Geometry Detail - High Antialiasing - TAA Terrain - High Vegetation - Medium/High DOF - Low Reflection - Medium/Ultra FX - ? (Medium maybe?) PostFX - Medium/High (Low on 1440p or 4K) Lighting - ? (Medium maybe?)

Jakiy of all trades, love your videos! 🍾🥂

17:00 there seems to be more than this to the reflection quality. the game becomes a lot more demanding when you switch from high to ultra and that's not just the "higher resolution reflections" effect it seems. when you switch it up to ultra, the dry road's light reflections become different and more true to the world. the whole road shade changes from light to darker (especially in inner city areas, under the metro system etc.). it seems as if ultra reflections bring even more world details into the reflections.

[@Nick-nf1kd]

It's probably reflection roughness changes, like in fortnite before lumen was added, high reflections were uniform across every surface, but ultra reflections had more clear reflections on puddles and water, and less clear ones on rougher less reflective materials.

[@Ratbone]

Post process on low makes citizen cars ghost when driving by having it on medium or higher helps a lot!

[@shad74444]

So that's why I have seen them blurry, thanks bro

[@TheKasikaasu]

You really go nice in depth about the different settings but you leave out the most important which is the cost of the settings. As in how much difference is in % and then when we know your setup we can then apply that info to our own case

[@BFKalut]

Excellent video, you were an invaluable resource while I tweaked the Forza Horizon settings, love seeing you giving another game a similar treatment!

[@HecticRun]

Thanks! I'm starting a new channel for these kind of videos, i'll cover a wider range of titles on that channel, not just driving games!

[@Nintenboy01]

Thank you for this video. Not even Digital Foundry did such a detailed analysis for this game's settings

[@SpaceDoge103]

seeing this made me gain some good performance, thank you so much and i'm thankful for the time you sank in this lol

[@iansimiyu6952]

Amazing content as always. Are you planning to make a best settings one? I personally prefer those as the fps is usually very impactful on what setting I'll choose

[@hotwaffles5897]

From my testing lighting or effects gives ur NOS lighting effects on the floor during nighttime races

[@arandominternetperson4462]

At least in Unbound, the graphics options make an actual difference. In Heat, the only noticeable changes are when you change the vegetation quality and shadows, and weirdly when you use HBAO Ambient Occlusion the game looks slightly better (the shadows around corners of cars and buildings actually work unlike AAO and AAO FULL)

[@shantonabsen2299]

Nice after a long time a graphics settings optimization video, which I like mostly in your channel 😊😊

[@jaswinprakash]

Superb comparison video thanks ❤

[@CorrichetiLagga]

Thank you so much for this type of videos! Such an amazing and detailed analysis❤

[@Mew_York_Kitty]

Love you bro, appreciate all your efforts here, please do a frame rate test if possible. Also, I'm looking for similar comparisons when the Crew MotorFest, Forza Motorsport & Test Drive Solar Crown launches. Thanks again! 😎🍾🥂

[@NoahSties]

Amazing video, subscribing

[@HarGabt]

You might want to redo the video, since Volume 6 update brought a new ambient occlusion option, GTAO

[@saikousocial]

Great work on this, you deserve way more views/subs. Best of luck to ya.

[@K2Lu37]

exactly what i was looking for

[@brzimtrco6142]

Where is the fps counter?

[@izmotions]

very sad :( moswt important thing for comparisons

[@defnotatroll]

Post processing and effects detail affect the effects when you use the yellow nitrous. With post processing set higher, you notice an explosion wave on screen when boosting, with PP set to low this effect disappears (there may be other differences, this is just what i've noticed)

[@syafinorzizan9968]

does it cost performance that much?

[@defnotatroll]

@@syafinorzizan9968 post processing? for me not that much

[@PCGAMINGHD1]

The blur effect is crazy on this game that's what brings me to this video.

[@danyethxoxo826]

amazing video!!

[@zalankhan5743]

Can you also test if the Night time is more intensive as opposed to day time.

[@TheSnake0444]

should have considered to add performance comparrison would fit your entire video perfectly nd also very useful to consider what to change in terms of visual nd performance cost.

[@HecticRun]

I did, it would have taken an extra week to make the video. I didnt have the time to dedicate to it unfortunately. The game also has no benchmark which would make it impossible to quantify accurate results unfortunately

[@ggspooks7915]

you need to restart the game after changing settings

[@AdamSaeed]

I'm not sure, but I think Reflections Ultra reflect distant buildings in the wet cement (not poodles). anything below Ultra has the skybox reflecting on the road which breaks the connection

[@tejaschopdekar4529]

I see no difference in high and ultra texture quality setting.. Which is best from both? please suggest

[@thachyglint8720]

So I've been tinkering with the graphical settings as well, to find the best overall options for my game, and I've found out what the Post Processing setting does. It reduces the blurriness effect of the TAA. When set on low, the game looks much better and more sharper in motion. I think this setting should have been reversed, as on the other settings (ex. medium, high ultra) it looks horrible. If you're playing at 1440p or 4k without DLSS or FSR, you should definitely change this setting on low, you will be surprised how much better the game will look.

[@AdamSaeed]

Could it be affecting Depth of Field? because DOF is really pixelated at 1080p

[@thachyglint8720]

@@AdamSaeed I think the best setting for DOF should be low, or medium. Yes, maybe on higher settings it looks better, but from my testing, it just CHUNKS framerate. So it's not really worth it imo. Mine is set to medium

[@bluwafer4255]

that might be because it affects motion blur?

[@olehheremii5639]

Please make the same video for NFS HEat

[@shantonabsen2299]

Oh and I forget to ask when you will do performance I mean fps difference video of each graphics settings in nfs unbound 🤔

[@HecticRun]

I will try in the next few days. It's difficult for this game.... there's no benchmark. So getting accurate results between settings changes will be difficult as i need to run the tests in exactly the same spot over and over. I can do the tests easily, but the results will not be very accurate for everyone else when to apply to their systems.. i'll see what i can come up with to benchmark this game.

[@shantonabsen2299]

@@HecticRun ok 👍

[@tejaschopdekar4529]

What will be the best setting for i5 12400f 16gb 2400mhz ram and rtx 4060 Still game looks blurry on ultra 1080p

[@syafinorzizan9968]

turn off taa anti aliasing, it make game looks blurry. u can force dlaa in unbound.

[@nathanielrosillo7339]

Are these available for ps5?

[@HecticRun]

I’m pretty sure this is for pc only.

[@bsigns1935]

Playing at 1440p ultra settings, damn it looks awful, even MW 2012 looks better than this

[@Xurety]

What?

[@judge0112]

i dont know why this game is so greedy, she looks worse than rivals in 2013, what they are made

[@Death-To-Pocketbook]

just played the whole intro to the game with no sound, devs of this game are actual idiots. instant refund.
