►Optimized Settings:
-Ray Tracing: On (much better lighting, but adds noise)
-Path Tracing: Off (unless your GPU can handle it)
-Global Illumination Quality: Medium or High
-Hair Quality: Low or Medium (Low disables Strand-Based Hair)
-Texture Quality: Medium or Lowest (if the game stutters)
-Texture Filtering: High (ANISO x16)
-Mesh Quality: Medium
-Shadow Quality: Medium or High (Lowest with PT)
-Shadow Cache: On
-Contact Shadows: On (adds noise when RT is off)
-Effects Quality: High (lower if perf drops in combat)
-Ambient Occlusion: SSAO
-Volumetric Lighting: Medium or High
-Screen Space Reflections: On (adds noise)
-Subsurface Scattering: On
-Depth Of Field: On (Personal Preference)
•Low Texture Quality is currently bugged and can hurt performance stability with frequent frame time spikes.
•Hair, Mesh, Shadows, Texture Quality, and RT/PT heavily impact VRAM usage ,avoid maxing them all if VRAM-limited.
•If you’re using Path Tracing, set Shadow Quality to Lowest, this saves a lot of VRAM with no noticeable visual impact.
