-Something messed up a bit and it seems the quality took a big hit. It took me 4 hours to render render out and it ended up being a 10GB file. I'll look in to what happened but I'm not going to re-render this video sadly.
I tweaked the resolutions some more after my last video and lowered Render Resolution to 900p. This gives us a Pre-T2x resolution of 800x900. This is a 30% reduction in resolution and it seems to give us a notable boost to performance. The game certainly looks worse than before, but it feels smoother.
I tried to keep display resolution at 1080p however, for some reason, the game does not like to scale from the render resolution to display resolution. It instead forces the display resolution to match the render resolution.
