The Callisto Protocol | OPTIMIZATION GUIDE/BEST SETTINGS | Ray Tracing | FSR FIX

[@ihatepie2630]

Thank you so much for spending time on this! Pain in the butt that you cannot change the settings in game so I appreciate it. Made a great difference in my play!

[@johnboylan3832]

That and the god awful ray tracing performance meant I just gave up and refunded this today. Not being able to change even FSR settings in game is a joke.

[@warren2336]

Thanks for going over this one. It's frustrating doing guess and check when you have to drop out all the way. As always, your analysis is appreciated.

[@Spawn223311]

Thanks to this I went from 75 avg fps in the game benchmark to 105. Lighting and particle lighting are on medium. FSR 2.0 is on quality. Cpu: 5600 GPU: 6750xt

[@DeToNaToRX]

This helped my game performance increase and make it actually enjoyable. Thanks!

[@ItsWhatever24]

so what i have found is this: The "Lighting" setting is way too demanding or unoptimized. Reducing it to Low I can run all max other settings at 4K and get a very good framerate (including all ray tracing settings on high. the lighting setting is more demanding than the ray tracing settings lol

[@jameshardy6277]

Excellent video and big thanks. PC gaming is in such a bad state we need videos like this to achieve something close to acceptable. Will you cover upcoming PC releases in the same way?

[@pheaseyy]

Thanks man great video. I’ve been waiting for digital foundry post one for a week so this is clutch!

[@rumtata]

Just got the deluxe Edition für 20eu.....awesome deal. Used your video for first settings and cranked it up a tad. Amazing game in 2024 after all these patches and for 20eu with all dlcs. Love this easy dodge toggle, its nice to have for the first 2 hours. 1 click quicktime events option is awesome too. You also can skip nearly every cutscene in the game nowadays. Looks like my patience with not buying it on release day is paying off now, hiihi.😊

[@miguelangelramos7709]

Same here buddy🎉 will enjoy it, configuring the setting right now

[@revit4909]

Wow thanks It’s running much smoother now

[@rtxisplaying]

Hi! I just wanted to thank you for this video as it saved me a ton of time doing my own testing. I am also curious about the Physical Refractions option and if you ever had a chance to test it out. If you did, what would you recommend, leaving it on or off? Nonetheless, thank you so very much for all nicely organized information!

[@gep4rd74]

thanks for your patience in making the video, great video bro

[@Cpu_Optimizer_Cyber_Keystroker]

BenchmarKing is quickly becoming a new fave of mine. I love Alex Battaglia over at Digital Foundry, as well but sometimes they spend half the video analyzing very small differences between new gimmicky GPU features in games. Found BenchmarKing when Dead Island 2 released and he's been my go to guy now for his absolute straight to the point vids while still being very accurate with graphics-to-performance comparisons

[@acdcjor]

Digital Foundry every 2 seconds: "Did I remind you I love this useless Nvidia feature? Sadly, AMD doesn't have it"

[@Cpu_Optimizer_Cyber_Keystroker]

@@acdcjor lol but are you even wrong? Don't get me wrong - DF is great, but you absolutely hit it on the head with some of the "Alarmist Pixel Peeping" they do and how they aaaalmost just seem to stop short of rubbing left out gamers' noses in it

[@brahim22526]

What about physical refractions? what does it do and what its impact on fps?

I love these setting comparison videos, youre a life saver. subbed

Very useful video, for real. Thank you so much.

[@alexandrerodrigo6543]

Muito obrigado , possuo uma 3060ti + 5600 . Vou usar sua configuração, mas tentarei colocar um pouco de ray tracing. Irei jogar em 1080P .. obrigado , ótimo vídeo.

[@rehanchougle18]

U r doing amazing work keep it up

[@miguelmojer9424]

Thank you mate! That was very helpful :)

[@JustAGuy85]

Thanks for that FSR tip. I thought it was just terrible CPU performance not letting me have any gains. I gotta say, though, my 6700XT 12GB is KILLING this game at ALL max settings, 1440p. I was not expecting this performance.. but it's been a year and maybe there's been some minor optimizations both from the game and AMD drivers.

[@JustAGuy85]

My settings weren't what I thought they were 😕 All max 1440 is like 40fps, less in some places, more in others.

[@acdcjor]

For a second I thought The Callisto Protocol had a similar soundtrack to Dead Space 3 because of this video, if it has my heart will melt ♨️

[@cellshade87]

Thanks for the helpful and detailed advice. 👍

[@mclarenbutton6342]

It is not using the latest version of UE5.x, the game uses UE 4.27 with customized G.I as Lumen doesn't work for the studio with what they had in mind, that's what they claimed without much technical insight why lumen doesn't for their needs.

[@linezciouz185]

Good stuff Can u do witcher 3 next gen update next?

physical refractions. What is this? you didn't say anything about this point. is this ssao?

Refractiona have something to do with transparent objects like glass

Thanks for the bideo man. Very usefukl.

[@necrotic256]

DX11 or 12? I think i saw that 11 performs better

[@danishhaikal8840]

For me dx12 is better

[@benchmarking4386]

DX12 works better for me specially after the two updates that fix the shader compilation stutters , DX 11 stutters a lot with bad frame pacing.

[@ragechok9932]

Dx11 for geforce 10,16, dx12 for rtx 20,30,40

[@patlezinc]

@@danishhaikal8840 because it cuts RT I guess

[@geekongames5226]

DX11 stutters a lot for my RX 6600

[@javagaming3125]

Fantastic fucking video!

[@Jakiyyyyy]

So basically it's equivalent to High preset since High preset will put a lot of stuff on Medium just like this guide. Thanks. 👻

[@unorthodox5171]

Why you didn't mention the difference between DX11 and DX12 setting?

[@Alfred_Goldman]

I use a 12700k and a 3090ti oc I can run the game at about 120fps with the preset but if I change some options like motion blur the game becomes ugly and I have 50fps... Nice video btw

[@kamilooss2113]

120fps but with 4k, right?

[@EH3AN.S23]

nice video👏

[@TheExxl]

What about the upscaling mode? i use fsr 2 with quality mode balanced..

[@vmafarah9473]

They should have made RT medium along with mirror RT high.

[@Gabriel-lf4bn]

Nice video 😃

[@Serandi1987]

But I've got the 5800X & the RTX 4090. Why I still have so many stuttering when I play 4K everything on max and 60FPS cap.???

[@TeamGun]

It's an AMD sponsored game, so nvidia sadly have a worse time with it. For example I'm playing 4k Ultra (no raytracing) 60fps no studders on a RX 6800 16gb GPU.

[@ballistic63]

@@TeamGun with 40 fps avg? I have a 6900xt and had all the settings on high which got me 61 avg fps in the benchmark (at 4k), there were many parts in the game where it felt like I was running at 30 fps.

[@TeamGun]

@@ballistic63 Yikes, you running a prebuilt? You need to optimize your hardware better you should be getting much more. When I run the benchmark not vsync and not frame capped 60 (my 50" 4k tv is 60 hz so I cap @ 60) I average 72fps high 4k. You should be getting much more.

[@lymrix3721]

I don't have the lighting setting where is it

[@maicosalgado8675]

Why keep temporal aa for anti aliasing?

[@angelofbliss]

ray tracing off makes all fog and flames, look like 2d photoshop add ins. its wierd. Ray tracing shaodws medium crashing d3d unreal e4, but on high everything works fine.
