Patch #7 (released Sept 5) - NVIDIA Frame Generation = ON To see Frame Generation OFF, watch this video https://youtu.be/_RV3_OM7-78 - Ray Tracing = ON - AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 2 = DISABLED - NVIDIA DLSS 3 Upscaler = DISABLED - HDR Output = ON - All graphics settings at EPIC (highest) Note: Since my display is 120Hz, "Max Frame Rate" is set to 117 FPS in NVIDIA Control Panel. Both the video capture software and YouTube's playback are limited to 60 FPS. That said, it appears that the 4080 was so taxed by the game that it could only capture at around 21 FPS! Here are the fixes you can expect with this patch: -This patch introduces several performance-related improvements* on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S including: -Performance mode has been completely reworked to substantially improve player experience. -A number of GPU and CPU optimizations – along with disabling Ray Tracing – has resulted in a better player experience, including a solid 60 FPS in Performance mode. -Quality Mode has also received optimizations to help reduce FPS fluctuation and introduce other visual improvements. -Variable Refresh Rate support added for PS5. -Additional performance & optimization improvements for PC, including DLSS support. -Save system tweaks to help prevent save game corruption. -Fixed issues where players could not retrieve their XP after dying under certain circumstances. -Various crash fixes. -Various bug fixes & improvements across all platforms, including fixes for cloth, lighting, and UI.

Note: The game actually runs at 4K up to 120FPS using VRR, but the PS5 only captures at 1080p60 due to high resolution and refresh. Add YouTube compression, and the end result is a MUCH softer picture than what I see.

Same section of the game as before, but with different tactics and outcome. Note: The game actually runs at 4K up to 120FPS using VRR, but the PS5 only captures at 1080p60 due to high resolution and refresh. Add YouTube compression, and the end result is a MUCH softer picture than what I see.

Patience is key. Take your time. Note: The game actually runs at 4K up to 120FPS using VRR, but the PS5 only captures at 1080p60 due to high resolution and refresh. Add YouTube compression, and the end result is a MUCH softer picture than what I see originally.
