Might have to play this during the winter, run a test at 4k, max setting with ray tracing and those fans were working ....

The thing that stands out the most is the quality of the shadows. It looks pretty bad with RT off. The shadows are blocky and kind of pixelated and tend to sort of flicker.
This is just a screenshot, but they look significantly worse in motion. Still, the game looks very good with software Lumen anyway.

3070 is still rocking with ~60fps. But I only use 1080p screen though.

Holy shit this game can melt
Should have come bundled with the 5090

NO idea what i'm doing here as i dont game on my PC but wanted to benchmark... my monitors are only 1440 so no 4k res for me. I also noticed that even though i have full ray tracing enabled in settings options the readout at the end says that it is off? Not sure why... went back into settings again and it is set to on. I just tried to max everything to see what it would spit out. Reduced pic size by 50% hopefully i dont blow the page up with a huge image heh

Too much nvidia cards on this topic. Where are my AMD Radeon bros? Will try this later tonight.
-No framegen
-default settings with framegen
I can't seem to turn framegen off anymore though, it even enables when I select xess now; must be my older driver or something.

Based on a few minutes of testing, the DLSS resolution scale numbers don't seem to have much of an impact until the wording on the right changes.
For example:
62-89 - Quality. Changing the number within that range doesn't seem to impact FPS much.
Setting it to 90 changes to DLAA, which has a large impact.
Changing it to 61 sets it to Balanced, which has much more of an impact than anything between 62-89.
Based on that, it seems you might as well set it to the highest number within each setting.
Haven't done a visual comparison, and this is only based on a few runs, so I could be wrong.

Is this the first time we've gotten DLSS/FSR/etc implemented with a stepless slider instead of presets (Quality, Performance etc)? That's something I've been hoping would be implemented ever since DLSS was introduced. Ideally it would have gone beyond 1.0x for temporal supersampling (DLAA) etc.

Did you restart the tool after changing the Ray Tracing setting? It's required.

Hmm no i backed out and the settings all seemed to have saved so i ran it.
Can run it again later i guess.

I don't think it'll sniff 700K no matter what. I could see 150K+.This will break 700k players if it reviews well

I don't know why but I find that the ray tracing + very high/cinematic settings, BUT with global illumination set to low, looks amazing. The scenes look a lot more atmospheric, darker from the tree canopy, grittier, almost horror-like. There must be less bounces of ray tracing or something but the effect is neat.
Try it.
Try it.

Even without Raytracing, this game looks and runs great on my gaming laptop with high settings at 90% resolution with FSR. Even if it drops a lot with enemies and effects I can adjust it slightly and it would still looks great. I can even play with medium/high raytracing at 30 fps on medium/high settings. I'm surprised how well this game is running on my aged laptop.

I'm getting 120-140fps without RT at 1440p (with RT bellow). The game looks good in general, imo > looks better without RT. But to be honest this benchmark kinda sucks, since theres no action going on. Also, i noticed some stuttering 1 or 2 times, even with +7000gbps ssd.

I'm retarded?

Heres a better difference
Obviously the right side looks much better in terms of realism however will anyone actually notice playing the game? In cyberpunk at least it was very obvious since there are a ton of colored lights bouncing off surfaces which made each scene 10 times better, but in this case, dunno, very hard sell for me as well and I have a high end PC as well.
You can easily see how unstable the image is without RT. Shadows are square-ish and low-res, reflections are worse, and in some scenes RTGI looks better. You can easily spot the bad shadows (and that's on a compressed YT video).
Contrary to other games, RT in this game brings image stability. In motion, it can be really appreciated. Now if you are fine with square-ish low-quality shadows, then I guess it's fine. You can simply disable it. And yes, the RT effects are not as transformative as in Quake 2 RTX or Portal RTX (which are TRUE path-traced games). Still, I wouldn't call them useless.

In 4k 50% DLSS (so performance setting) is completely fine, other upscalers obviously don't compare.
Shadows and reflections are the biggest difference here:
Without body of water to reflect stuff game looks almost the same, not bad for over 2x better performance:
I think they aren't using Virtual Shadow Maps here because usually UE5 have better shadows than that, maybe they do that to make differences look bigger. Nvidia money can't go to waste.
Compared to games that have RTGI vs. no GI at all without RT I think using hardware RT in UE5 is kind of waste.

Installed it. Crashes when starting. Gotta love PC gamming... (sorry, I had to throw this one).

Tweaked some settings. RT Off/Low with Recommended Settings @ 2k w/DLSS On is where it's at for now I think

It's hard to believe how much slower Ampere is in this game in comparison to ADA Lovelace. Even in Alan Wake 2 (PT), my RTX4080S was only 30% faster compared to the RTX3090, but I would never believe it could double the results of the RTX3090, yet that's exactly the case (22fps vs 50fps with the same settings). It seems to me this game is only optimized for ADA GPUs, because no one can explain such massive difference between the RTX3090 and the RTX4080S.

Yep.

Uh? To me it just shows the typical improvements Ada has over Ampere with RT.

Nope, in normal RT there usually is very little difference. With path tracing Ada shows bigger differences but not to this extend:
AW2, 4070 is 14% better
CP2077, 4070 is 20% better
BMW (this time in 1080p), 4070 is 42% better
And this is normal RT average between those GPUs from TPU:

Hey not bad not bad. Now let's see how the ol' girl can handle RT on.
Same RTX 3080 12 GB on recommended settings at 1440P

I think it will reach 1m but will be mainly driven by China

I wonder if RT set to Low just adds RT shadows while medium adds RT reflections and Very high the full hardware GI.
If RT shadows are the biggest win, id rather just have them on.

Which one is better? Tsr or FSR? Or DLSS.
My 3070 doesn't support frame generation for DLSS but it does support Fsr and Tsr. Obvious choice is not DLSS but I see everyone like DLSS the most. I never play game on PC so don't know anything about those options.
I turn on frame generation I could go "Very High" setting or even "Cinematic" with ~70-80fps on Fsr or Tsr.

I didn't know game has FSR3 frame gen, thanks to you I know now! The best thing is that it works with TSR and FSR but it's not usable with DLSS.
Fucking Nvidia, they know that FSR3.1 FG combined with DLSS upscaling makes their DLSS3 frame gen irrelevant (it also uses much less vram) so they started to block this combo in sponsored games...

Well, I'm happy with my results.
I won't expect to get near this performance on PS5 so, guess I'll eventually play the game on PC.
Can't go higher than RT low with cinematic settings, otherwise FPS takes a dive. But I didn't built my PC for RT anyway, so I don't honestly care.

This game is well optimized like other games that came from Korea such as Lies of P. Western developers and some Japanese (not you FromSoftware, wink wink) have a lot to learn.
frame gen on at 37% screen res and you call that optimized? Not sure if serious
Slothbeing1209

It worked like a charm , Cinematic with 100% scaling for >70fps. But I see people complain about the input lag.
Not sure should I turn frame gen on since I can't play the game yet

Bad is that amount of tray icons, my dude. wth! A special red flag for that "blue M".99FPS at 4K with Ray Tracing at Max with Frame Generation (63FPS without Frame Generation).
122FPS at 4K with No Ray Tracing.
Not bad at all.

Meh RT. Shadows, reflections and greener greens.
