Dude I hope you know that you are an absolutely invaluable resource to so many of us. I feel like I've finally found the channel I can trust to give me optimized recommendations that fit within my belief of what an ideal gaming experience should feel and look like. I'm EXTREMELY picky about having a _smooth_ experience in games, especially considering the multi-thousand dollar investment that a high-end gaming PC is, and you're the *only* benchmarking channel I turn to now when first optimizing a game's performance. You are knowledgeable, consistently quick to upload around new releases, show phenomenal finesse in demonstrating effects (both singularly and in side-by-side comparisons), and most importantly: you are unwaveringly practical in your recommendations. You make my dollars go further and my ideal experience easier and quicker to attain, which in turn allows me to spend less of my limited time tinkering with settings and more of it actually playing the games I love. For all of that, I simply cannot thank you enough. I sincerely hope that you find every bit of success you're looking for with your channel and more.

[@VipapkStudiosOfficial]

Yup, I can't live without your optimization guides anymore. It's great, cheers! ^^

[@abhirupkundu2778]

i am having no problems except the 5-6 second stuttering every 3 mins, its a literal bug. My vram is literally far from full yet the same thing.

[@heime1990]

i remember watching hardwareunboxed's opmization videos to get 60 fps on red dead 2. assassin creed odyssey and watch dogs region. they no longer make optimization videos because it takes emormous time and efforts to do such a video. now u do these hard work. thanks

[@TheEnhas]

The most demanding areas in the game are the village fight at the start of the game, and the return to it at night in chapter 5. What helps the most is having ray-tracing and the four physics settings disabled since it's clearly CPU bottlenecked at both points, but even then it only helps to reduce the impact and doesn't fix it entirely. Having those same settings disabled also helps in some other places as well, mostly where there's a lot of enemies at once.

[@zackary87kr]

My absolute favorite benchmarking optimization channel! Keep up the great work!

[@ariffarzmi5560]

Thank you for making this video. I was having trouble with huge slowdowns in villa where you fight alongside Luis since there are alot of enemies spawning all at once. FPS got to as low as 30-40 from my usual 60. And the cutscene went as low as 20. But once I disabled the hair strands, my performance skyrocketed and it maintained a stable 50-60 both in gameplay and the cutscene.

[@Su-pc4yt]

its rare to see high quality work like this impressive work

[@linkthehylian]

I can't believe I'm just now finding out that FidelityFX CACAO results in a lower framerate, even if the boost is small. That's definitely the last time I'm following an optimization guide from Digital Foundry lol Switched to SSAO right after finding this video. You've earned yourself a subscriber. Thanks dude. :)

[@orchardll]

There's a section in chapter 5 where the resource intensive settings really make a big difference. It's at the village, and in particular inside a small house next to the church. In this small house, if you have enemies coming at you and you're aiming... the FPS will tank down to high forties and low fifties. Probably has something to do with the way the shadow is being cast by your flashlight. However, despite this, GPU clock during these segments didn't boost up to the max and GPU utilization was middling (6700xt at 1080p). I thought it was my CPU at first (r5 3600), but I've seen others with 10900k and 11700k reporting the same thing (also with beefier GPUs than mine). It is true however that CPU utilization at the village at chapter 5 was higher than usual. Disabling the resource intensive settings fixed it for me, but like... AFAIK, the settings only affected this part of the game in which you probably won't spend more than 10 minutes in.

[@benchmarking4386]

Hmm interesting, right now I'm still in chapter 4 , when I reach chapter 5 , I'll check it out , thank you for sharing this.

[@d2cmp]

I had a similar issue during chapter 5 using the scope on the rain FPS went into the single digits, on other areas it works fine

[@DylanZ1201]

Same happened to me with a 4080/10700K combo. FPS went from 85 - 100, down to around 45 - 65 in Chapter 5 at 4K. Something with that section is off, or it’s just really demanding.

[@danysimardmusic]

​@@DylanZ1201 10900K with 4080, same thing happened to me too, other than the two last settings I didn't see any tweak, but CPU is not well utilized in this section, which seems to be more demanding as well..

[@sm4sh3d]

Yep, chapter 5 when you come back to the starting village at night with the rain is kinda broken and something is tanking the performance there. I saw people with a 4090 being unable to keep 60 fps, so it's clear something is wrong

[@czproductions]

I've already beaten the game twice but I've been waiting for this video for my next playthroughs! Thank you!

[@DexterMullen]

Perfect analysis for every setting with visyal confirmation, 10/10 man! keep up the good work!

[@Lizard-King]

Thank you!! I've been trying to run RE4 at a constant 60fps but couldn't figure out what settings were dropping frames, but thanks to you it finally does. Awesome work king!

[@WarrenSiervo]

When the time comes when your channel explodes, I'm not even gonna be surprised. Quality content as always.

[@brettkilgore5374]

This channel needs a lot more subs, literally used him for settings in so many of my games when I first got pc and still now

[@WunWinged]

I put some of these settings on and now all of a sudden the atrocious input delay I had has just disappeared, now I can play mercenaries. Great video I appreciate the help :D

[@Skoshtwo]

What a legend tier video my dude. I came here because I had insane texture LOD popping which made the game miserable for me. If anyone is facing the same issue, I found myself a solution that entirely got rid of the issue. Namely, you want to set your FPS to unlimited and use the vsync. This is what fixed it for me.

[@MacaroniArsheri]

Jesus this optimization guide was amazing. I didn't know what I was doing, but with your guide, I managed to go from 50fps to around 109fps. :D

[@MrSiloterio]

Great video brother. I was going to create an optimization video for this one but I am too engrossed playing this game and found it to be already well optimized except for the village ambush which is heavily cpu bottlenecked and the occasional area stutter which you have already mentioned. I think you covered the settings pretty well. Great job.

[@MrSiloterio]

@@theunplayable60 hmm i didn't notice. can you show me a clip?

[@dotpixis8315]

Recently got re 4 remake on my gtx 1650 laptop. Even after reducing textures, shadows and implementing fsr, my game was stuttering alot and it looked bad. After using your settings it works like a charm! I can actually play using high textures, just had to lower some visual settings and the game still looks and performs well without any stutters. Thanks for your guides!
