[@jere3651]

Can you make another video for this especially or other games after patches to fix issues? Would love to see some new optimization guides for games that have been patched for the fixes they had before..

[@CosmicVoid420]

Been waiting for your guide. Even though I already finished the game and roughly figured out my own optimal settings. I watch your guides even for games I don't own or have no interest in playing, just because the quality of your analysis is so good. Much more straight forward to the point than Digital Foundry.

try setting it to low, then very high, like 2-3 times and it should work fine, some textures are low res no matter what, im not sure if it really is a bug

[@raymondkelly8451]

U can also try disabling direct storage by renaming the two DLL files . Surprisingly it doesn’t seem to make a big difference in load times

[@TheAtkinson118]

Can I ask you guys a question please? Should I jump in and buy it now after Friday's patch, considering you're 3 different players on different PC setups or hold off? My right is- Ryzen 7 5800x RTX 4070TI 32gb ram M.2 storage throughout the system Any feedback would be great,as I'm really tempted and can't believe I've held off this long but there so many conflicting reviews on steam I'm trying to gather as much genuine feedback as I can,as it's been a strange year for PC. Cheers guys 👍

[@aidenblue2gamer]

You did pretty hard work there. Wow. Did you realize that if you exit the game and run the game some graphics weren't fully applied or as stable as it should. In my experience doing exit and starting the game again, it gets the real quality I set in graphics. And performance.

[@cellfourteen]

Thank you very much! i5-13400f, RX 7800 XT here. At 1440p, with RT reflections, the starting point on Sargasso was very hard on the FPS, but now it suddenly jumped to and above 70 fps without upscaling. This map, with its abundant vegetation, was the only place in the game where I couldn't find an acceptable solution above 60 fps with RT reflections. I would recommend the new XeSS 1.3 on Quality for even more comfortable gameplay, as it's a little better, on the fps too, than FSR 2.2, at least in my opinion.

[@ezg8448]

Anisotropic Filtering costing so much performance is bizzare. Feels like we gone back to the old Geforce 2 days.

[@matthias6933]

it‘s a game that severly pushes memory bandwidth and storage read limits of current hardware, so of course AF impacts performance. The only thing that is bizarre are clowns who pushed the narrative that "AF is always free"

[@Jakiyyyyy]

Texture filtering should be ridiculously cheap on PC on any games but that's not the case here.

[@zeedude8026]

Once again you knock in out of the park with another excellent optimization guide. Id even go as far to say as your guides are better and more informative than Digital Foundry since you measure every single setting's impact to performance which is something they dont always do. I do hope the game receives patches for further polish and optimization. Keep up the great work.

[@kuoliibk]

I'm just going to come out and say it. Your videos are far more informative and useful than Digital Fountry. You get to the point, show good visual representation, and don't make your videos 30 mins long.

[@LanceUppercut]

I'm no stranger to the series, so I know how visually varied all the environments can be, but I'd never have guessed how wide of a range of FPS they all had, lol. (When I first started as Rivet on a vegetation filled planet, the FPS taaaaanked). Luckily we have the BK. (Also, as long as the FPS is stable, I think this is a genre I can deal with even 30fps if I had to (that's what console is, after all)). Edit: I started the game back up and at planet in question the fps were more in line with other places. This game def has it's... quirks.

[@colledeicorvi7422]

this is an excellent port, the only bad thing is the fps drops when shooting with some weapons that i also noticed

[@CosmicVoid420]

I think you were encountering stuttering issues on Very High Textures because all the VRAM was being used up. For me at 1080p with DLSS quality on Very High Textures the game uses like 9.5 GB of VRAM on my RTX 3060, Ryzen 5 5600X, 32GB RAM. No RT settings were enabled, Shadows and hair on medium, SSR on high. Also at 9:57 you say when CPU bound, but your GPU is at 99% usage and the CPU isn't fully utilized.

[@tvcultural68]

I know, these FPS drops and low GPU usage happen even on the 3060. I've seen it myself, so it's not because of VRAM. The Karan Benchmark channel showcased this

[@CosmicVoid420]

Uhhh, pretty sure you need shadow quality at low & the rest does basically nothing for performance, so you just upscale from a lower resolution... That's about all you can do with Remnant 2. 😅

[@Jakiyyyyy]

Try play with everything Low. If it can't run, Optimized settings won't help either.

[@CosmicVoid420]

@@mcgmgc Nah. Here's the real Remnant 2 optimization guide: 1. Do not buy unoptimized games. Since the devs will never learn to optimize their games, if people still buy their garbage. 2. Pirate the game from Dodi Repacks which comes with the online crack fix so you can play on the legit Steam and Epic servers with other people if you want. 3. Play on the lowest settings and drop the resolution and enable DLSS until you get 60fps. Or buy a 4090. 4. Enjoy the terrible game. Who now cares if it unoptimized since you got to play it for free.

disabling direct storage by deleteing the DLL files gives better performance

For V. High Texture Quality Use Vram around 14-15 GB ( 2K + Ray + Max Setting )

At 1080p with DLSS quality it was using like 9.5GB. It even used more than 10GB at times for me. And that is with all RT settings disabled, shadows and hair on medium, SSR on high.

[@dalheplay]

Helloo, thanks for you listen me and comunity! Love your guides!

[@beri4138]

I disagree with some of this. The most important setting for visuals is level of detail. I have it on ultra. It makes the biggest difference. Textures on high look a lot better than medium but also lose a LOT of fps for me so I left them on medium. Hair quality is only visible during cutscenes. Medium looks great. For gameplay, very low looks the same. Reflections are a big performance hog. I like nice reflections as much as everyone else but I ended up setting it to off because it's too demanding. I also have shadows and weather on low. For upscaling I use FSR performance. I like it better than XeSS because it looks sharper. Particle effects are also a huge performance hog but sadly there is no graphics setting to control them. Overall this is a pretty hard game to run well. Some of the planets perform poorly compared to others and fps drops during combat are inevitable with the crazy amount of particle effects. Many gamers will have to do like me: set everything to low-medium and only crank up 1 setting that's really important to them.

[@zSnake]

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you. I was having serious trouble running this game at 1440p with a 3070 extremely fast storage in an extremely Overkill processor. That didn't seem at all right to me

[@Der-Sensenmann]

Yeah, even my 3080 is struggling to keep the optimized game above 80 fps. Sometimes, I even lock it with RTSS to 120 fps to avoid burning my GPU with a draw of almost 350 watts at all times. Exclusive fullscreen mode helped a bit. 😅

[@Fantomas24ARM]

[@Eslezeni]

This video just appeared to me the day I finished the game💀

[@mangatom192]

The stuttering is probably because of a VRAM bottleneck. Very high textures and RT uses a lot of VRAM iirc. Plus you're running on higher resolution though I think you're running an upscale method so it's not full 1440p render but still quite high.

[@DiegoAraujoOficial]

I've been waiting for your guide or others who also do it very carefully. plus the game is so short that I ended up finishing 100% before they appeared on the internet, despite the media praise about the port, I had some problems with vram on the 3070 msm having 32gb to share VRAM I gave up using RT with 10 minutes of games o game simply doesn't make this switch like other games and even TLOUS today does, because I saw that this dropped a lot the RT msm putting the DLSS to 60fps I noticed that it was downloading the game to a resolution below the ultra-performance mode I don't know the game should be running at 480p, the game is so short that I just downloaded several things to high/medium and went after finishing the game and despite the game running above 80fps in this config it was very common for me to encounter drops in various environments to 40fps or less, and more a game full of features that other lighter games like HZD, God of war and even the forgotten days gone were not even considered to receive, and this one received all of them and it is almost impractical to use them in strong GPUs of the last generation and I don't doubt that I should just rotate everything with ease with Frame generation, but if for some this is a great port I won't be the one to question them maybe they are just referring to the fact that the game runs on ssd/slower disks but then no I know if this is merit because Remnant 2 does not have several similar portals in the labyrinth part and even in the final boss fight of the game where the boss is changing you from "world" in real time and there is zero marketing about it.

Very good video, unfortunately the PC porting the game from PS5 as an exclusive needs more refining in my opinion, since it is a PS5 exclusive, I can say the developer did a great job porting it to PC but it needed more time to fit in properly and in order to manipulate the whole GPU power, it has to be PC FULL COMPATIBILITY, don't get me wrong it is compatible right now and the game is doing good but in order for it to reach like a PS5 game play it has to manipulate the full PC has to offer.
