Ok, well, how do i respond to this one.
For a start, both myself and the op are running a completely different system spec to you, and whilst it may be around the same (ish) performance, Ours being a little faster, to say what works for your, and then to say what’s “suss” about ours is a little ridiculous, petty and rather bolshy.
I have tweaked these settings to work optimally with "the ryzen 7800x3d and 4090. I believe firmly they are near optimal for stonkingly good performance/visuals for our system.
Do you know how many god darn youtube videos i watched in the early days, which all came to naught. Non of them were near workable nor optimal for the system i was running. So to say they are suss, is an insult to my intelligence.
Encode resolution in tray tool, has much better graphics quality when combined with 1.4 super sample, tahn the other presets. It just works. Try the settings above, and see for yourself. What is academic/theory based speculation on your part, does not translate to reality in sim, (for me/on this rig) simples.
With regards to bitrate, do what works for your system, mine easily runs 800 without the least hint of interference. But again, for you, maybe not.
You say - “Anything above 650mbps doesn’t significantly improve anything imho”; - Again, this is your experience, for myself, 650 vs 850 is clearly seen as a translation of crisper graphics.
You also didn’t absorb what i posted. I clearly stated that OTT (Tray tool) is where these settings are applied. And not in debug tool. All settings i posted are made in tray tool, and only one preset is altered in debug, and thats “sharpening” to be set at - (Quality).
You may be right about the mirror aspect, but in my use across a years tweaking and faffing, this preset seems to hold all settings firm in debug. And it certainly has no other ramifications or negative affects. And for your information, i have read the docs concerning tray tool, and debug tool.
And finally, you wrote this:
“n any case, as long as you are happy with your settings, that’s great. However, I suggest that there are others, like myself that have done much more experimentaion and understand incremental settings differences a little better”.
= Condescending.
EDIT: After reading your provided link:
On your link, it advises to use "DLSS - Balanced. That together with a 1.2 super sample. - That is selling yourself short.
Ive read your link suggestions, and without trying to sound a ■■■■■■, I am not impressed.
Feedback from users isn’t exactly stella either. And again, not wanting to sound snarly, but to suggest graphics settings (so specifically) to someone running a different system, is just folly. These tweaks have to be made on the fly in sim. You also seemed to get confused at what motion repro does, and were corrected for it (perhaps a manual study is needed). Doesn’t exactly inspire and translate to the inflated sense of self assured confidence you seemed to portray, and certainly doesn’t warrant belittling my own simple but effective settings.
All the best.
