This game is the first to use DirectStorage 1.2 this is great for PC that uses Hard Drive Disks but for PC with SSD (Solid State Drives) seems to be causing framerate issues so a possible fix for this problems is to delete the files "dstorage.dll" and "dstoragecore.dll" from the main game folder (And in case you don't see any difference you can always recover this files with the integrity verification or just move them to some other temporal folder instead of deleting them)

The game seems to have some weird memory leak in the graphical settings (Maybe exclusively on the Raytracing options but I'm not 100% sure). So after changing the settings make sure to completly close and reopen the game to see the actual framerate your hardware is able to achieve with that configuration.

You want to set this setting to Fullscreen Exclusive for some reason unlike most games this one won't turn on and off the HDR on my monitor when i Alt+Tab and seems that Alt+Tabbing in Fullscreen Exclusive pauses the game (As normally) and unlike normal Fullscreen (Which leaves the game running in the background) when you return to the game the framerate maintains itself unlike normal Fullscreen which will sometimes dip and won't come back up. Should be the same as your Monitor Resolution (If you wish to lower it to increase performance at the downside of a blurrier picture i would recommend instead to enable some upscale method explained down below). Should be set to Auto unless the image proportion isn't matching your monitor (In which case try to find the one that suits it the best). This one will be Grayed Out if you used the Fullscreen option for the Window Mode (There's no need to edit it, it matches the value on your Windows configured Monitor Refresh Rate). If you are using Exclusive Fullscreen set it to the highest possible value. As long as your Monitor Refresh Rate is higher than 100 Hz i would recommend to set it OFF. If you are Suffering from Screen Tearing then set it ON. If this option isn't grayed out and you won't be using Frame Generation then my recommendation is to set it to OFF (As far as i have tried both options reduce the framerate and may even introduce random framedrops). In case you are planning to use "Frame Generation" then my recommendation is to try both ON and ON + BOOST since Frame Generation will introduce some input lag that you will want to mitigate using Nvidia Reflex Low Latency (but beware that some people reported more problems with this option enabled). If you hardware allows you to turn on this setting then set it to ON (Exclusive to RTX 4000 Series Graphic Cards). This will give a noticeable boost to performance. (You can also use this[www.nexusmods.com] mod which may allow you to enable this feature in certain graphic cards outside of the RTX 4000 series). IMPORTANT - If you enable this option it may introduce some input lag, because of this you may want to try enabling the previous option named "Nvidia Reflex Low Latency". I recommend using an Upscale Method for this game. If you want to achieve better performance a good option is to use one of this options. If you are able to use it DLSS would be the better choice, if not then the second best choice would be AMD FSR 2.1. IGTI is an Insomniac similar technolgy and XeSS is the same but made by Intel (Neither of which is better than the two first mentioned). I would set the Upscale Quality to Quality and the Dynamic Resolution to OFF. If you still want to get more performance use the Balanced, Performance or Ultra Performance options (Each one will give more performance at the cost of a blurried picture). This one is a personal preference, use the one you like the most or none at all. This option is only available if you are not using an Upscale Method and will get rid of the jagged edges of models. - SMAA is a good and cheap option although it would still may be too sharp. - TAA fixes the jagged edges almost completly but it will make the image blurrier with around the same performance cost as SMAA. - DLAA is an exclusive option for Nvidia Graphics Cards it's probably the best balance between the previous options but it will consume more frames.

I would recommend the value of Medium. This option actually consumes a decent amount of frames (There's a huge performance jump from Low to Medium, Almost no difference between Medium and High and another big jump to Very High). But the amount of VRAM consumed by High and Very High can be too much for a lot of Graphic Cards. I would recommend the value of 16x Anisotropic. This option barely consumes performance at all and it will make the surroundings of the character model look better in terms of the model and texture quality. I would recommend the value of Ultra this seems to be the closer to ray traced graphics but with far better performance (Also this setting doesn't seems to provide much performance difference - or at least not in my pc). Very High and High look slighly worse but still pretty good (The visual difference between them is not noticeable but it is with them compared to Medium and even more with Low). (If you are using Ray-Traced Shadows set this option to Low and Increase de Ray-Traced Object Range to 10 if able. Since this shadows will only apply outside of the Ray-Traced Shadows area and Low will give a Performance Boost from any other higher option without sacrificing visual fidelity and avoid Very Low since it causes weird black shadow spots in the distance). There's a very small performance difference between the three options. I would recommend the HBAO+ option (Since it looks the closer to ray tracing), SSAO and XeGTAO has a slight better performance but almost not noticeable (Between those two XeGTAO seems to provide better visuals). I would recommend the value of High. There is a clear visual difference between OFF and High with not much of a performance impact and absolutly no difference with Very High. (If you are using Ray-Traced Reflections also set this option to High since it will apply on top of the Ray Traced Reflections to achieve better reflections in some materials). If your hardware allows you to use this setting i would recommend to turn it ON. This is probably the setting with the most noticeable difference between Ray-Traced and Non Ray-Traced Graphics. Making lots of reflective surfaces that are simple not visible with this setting OFF. If your hardware allows you to use this setting i would recommend to set it to Medium. This is the second most noticeable difference between Ray-Traced and Non Ray-Traced Graphics. Making environments really pop up. The visual difference with Medium up to Very High seems to be imperceptible as far as i could see (Except for Savali were unless you use Very High shadows you are going to have weird grass shadows). I recommend to set this option OFF and instead use normal HBAO+ Ambient Occlusion configured before. This option does provide a nice gloss in metallics but the performance impact is huge and not worth it since HBAO+ does a pretty similar job. I recommend to set this option to Very High since High present tons of pixelations on the reflections. I recommend to set this option to the 10 if you are using the Ray-Traced Shadow options (If not then I recommend to set this option to the default value of 6) but particularly a value of 10 for RT Shadows is really noticeable, especially in big open environments. I recommend to set this option to Ultra. This represents the draw distance for models, you will see some popping at Very High and is really noticeable from High. I recommend to set this option to High or Very High. Barely noticed a performance difference with this option and lower values does particulary Medium and Low does decrease the amount of flying cars. I recommend to set this option to Very High. Barely noticed a performance difference with this option and it does have a visual difference from High and Medium (Which looks almost the same) and there's even more difference with Low. I recommend to set this option to High. Barely noticed a performance difference with this option (except for Very High that seems to take some frames with no visual difference from High) while Medium and Low reduce the visual quality of effects as rain. Is an effect applied when you use the Phantom Dash so it's up to personal preference. Is an effect up to personal preference (I recommend to set it on Medium since it provides nice visuals in cinematics and in Medium or higher values the blurriness while aiming is minimal unlike lowers with may be too strong). Is an effect up to personal preference (I recommend to set it ON since in provides light effects in some cinematics). Is an effect up to personal preference (I recommend to set it OFF since it makes the game blurrier). Is an effect up to personal preference. Is an effect up to personal preference (I recommend to set it to 0). It changes the camera closeness to the playable character so is up to personal preference. Is an effect up to personal preference. Is a visual option up to personal preference (I recommend to leave it at 10). Is an effect up to personal preference (I recommend to set it ON). Is an effect up to personal preference (If you suffer from nausea while gaming i recommend you to set this option to OFF).
