Gah, the morons at NVIDIA are changing the timer resolution from 0.5 ms to 1 ms.

#

I submitted a Pull Request at least a year ago fixing that.

#

Is it games HDR that changes whole image exposure (brightness?) when changing camera like from bright open area to a denser area.

slow sorrel
manic pawn
#

Anyways to disable it?

slow sorrel

#

Ill upload it to discord in a little bit

manic pawn
#

I mean thanks for even considering this 😁

#

It makes the foliage colours a bit dimmer on occasions. ruining that immersive feel. As im only playing this game for its visuals.

slow sorrel
#

looks like there are multiple types of autoexposure

#

would have to find the others

slow sorrel
#

Replacing a shader called sceneluminance is crashing the game

#

I’m guessing that’s the autoexposure one

#

So that’s a rip

manic pawn
#

Oh. That's fine anyways. You tried

lmao

#

this might be the first game I actually kinda like Chromatic Aberration

#

am I going crazy?

elfin glade
#

I honestly don't notice it from how far away I am from the tv

#

some people have better eyes than I do

late pike
#

oh I definitely notice it and actually the first thing I did was turning it off the first time I played

cursive urchin
#

I usually don't notice CA unless it's very aggressive

late pike
#

but I just tried playing with it a bit and I actually kinda like it now

elfin glade
#

that being said, yesterday I found out that if you turn off upscaling motion blur gets applied to the entire screen, but if you turn upscaling on motion blur doesn't get applied to the camera and is only per object. Or so it seems

#

took a screenshot in motion with DLSS on and then to Native AA, the difference is wild

#

Upscaling set to Native AA / Upscaling set to performance mode, both images were taken with the camera moving at full speed

late pike
#

huh

#

I'd say the right side doesn't have any motion blur at all actually

cursive urchin
#

That explains why the game looked so choppy to me

elfin glade
#

motion blur still gets applied to character movement though it seems

cursive urchin
#

also lol at the motion blur box in the left screen

elfin glade
#

lol, yeah

late pike
#

usually the individual objects would blur depending on how you move the camera

#

I'd say the right one looks like it's not working as intended lmao

elfin glade
#

oh really? I don't know much about motion blur at all

#

but yeah you're probably right

late pike
elfin glade
#

took this screenshot with dlss set to performance mode to see what it looks like when swinging a sword

ciEpgBq.png
late pike
#

I don't like that effect anyways since it kinda eliminates the purpose of having high refresh rates lol

elfin glade
#

I dunno, I'll let the other smart people here figure that one out KEKW

late pike
#

hmm actually maybe you're right

#

it does look a lot like per object motion blur haha

elfin glade
#

Soop made me aware of this bug:

The performance drops as time of day changes, then going back up when it gets to the time of day you started the session on

#

fps drops when you open doors I notice all the time now too

cursive urchin
#

Nice thing about UE is that you can at least force it there

lavish python
#

in both GOW games they done that

#

the motion blur feels a bit too subtle to me even with 10

#

(at high framerate)

#

and all naughty dog games do that too

slow sorrel
#

Ya I remember John from df complaining about it in uncharted legacy of thieves

lavish python
cursive urchin
#

With real cameras I mean

#

180 shutter speed means that shutter operates 2x the frame rate

lavish python
#

but on a sample hold display low fps already means more blur

#

you dont get that sample hold blur in real life

cursive urchin
#

But you do get it watching stuff on your TV

#

There's no difference between that with games or video

#

Having an ultrawide definitely helps with liking CA (but I kept it activated even before)

I'm pretty sure chromatic aberration adds psycho visual detail

night trellis

you can just turn it off and not see it 😄

i think it's just preset K that is awful, J might be doing better overall

coral rune
# spring drum i think it's just preset K that is awful, J might be doing better overall

I'm rly curious, pls keep us updated on your impressions. I won't get a chance for much game time the next few days or id be taking a look myself. I only tested out K at the start and the ghosting was way too much for me to live with, didn't even occur to me to try J, given the major difference from J to K (for most games) seems to be less ghosting haha

spring drum
#

i assumed K is just better J, but apparently not. or I've just been lucky with the weather in AC. I'm trying K again and it's ass as expected

elfin glade
#

the one DLSS comparison for this game was showing that Preset E has better motion blur / particle effects but J and K are better with FPS I think

spring drum
#

yeah J seems to ghost a lot less than K. but it still has this issue
and I see no difference with SK's fixes or not

#

and, honestly, there's nothing that can be fixed here. the transformer model presets J and K just struggle on that kind of content right now

coral rune
# spring drum and, honestly, there's nothing that can be fixed here. the transformer model pre...

thats been my experience too, tho still grateful you checked/v interesting that J is doing better than K in this game, I'd stopped checking out J as the other titles I've tried at least K was always a clear improvement. wonder what's different about ubi's setup - whether its just the visuals and effects themselves challenging the model or the fact that their implementation of any nvidia tech seems fairly... if not broken, at least french lol

spring drum
#

the only two games (i think?) that have official dlss4 transformer upscaling also use ray reconstruction, which seems a very curious coincidence

coral rune

i dont really have anything to base that on beyond gut feel lmao xD

#

unfortunately the game lost me with it's repetitive tasks

#

I don't think I'm gonna finish this one

bright shell
#

thats just because no player selects yasuke and the new items are in his inventory, so everyone thinks its a bug

elfin glade
elfin glade
#

well that's a bug I haven't seen yet lol. Photo mode filter stayed on even after I exited photo mode. I also couldn't change which filter was active either

yeah restarting the game fixed it, cool though 🙂

elfin glade
#

nice patch coming out tomorrow that is going to fix a ton of bugs. Thank god Pray

raven nimbus
#

Remember to backup your executable, they're probably going to add even more DRM than they did when you open treasure chests in 1.0.1 🙂

opal sinew
#

reshade still bugged af though lmao

#

telling me this is sdr

raven nimbus
#

Cause it is

bright shell
#

😂

elfin glade
#

think the game turned HDR off when the update hit

#

mine was off last night when I loaded my save

#

or I just forgot to turn it back on when I was turning it off and on to get reshade to work again 😛

opal sinew
tight bison
#

they still havent fixed being able to sell multiple things at once?

coral rune
#

it must be spaghettied into the game's code in a real bad way to be so hard to fix without causing other problems

neon leaf
#

well next update I'll revisit then

#

have a bag full of stuff and the ui is awful

unkempt dew
#

hdr unrelated but did anybody experience something like this?:

#

figured out disabling first 2 cores of my ryzen 5800x makes that issue disappear, swapping nvidia's drivers was making no difference

worldly kettle
#

This game on high end hardware is a thing of beauty. So smooth.

amber jetty
#

is claws of awaji going to be the last update for the game?

slow sorrel
#

they'll prob have minor updates here and there for a while

#

ac odyssey had a dlc in 2021

amber jetty
#

waiting to play it out of beta state

slow sorrel
#

its fine now

#

don't think any of the new updates are going to make it substantially better

#

the parkour update was nice but not huge

#

cause the parkour in the game is basic anyway

#

it's just not designed in a way that has opportunities for cool parkour

amber jetty
#

it's just that it sucks when you spend a lot of time playing a AAA game, and then the game receives an update that could make your playthrough much more fun

slow sorrel
#

its the best time waster ubisoft has made in years

amber jetty
#

and i know ubisoft, they always do that

slow sorrel
#

one month of ubi+ is all you need

#

then you can never touch the game again

amber jetty
#

all ubisoft quebec assassin's creed games are fun, they take the slow gameplay of ubisoft montreal and transform it into a fast fun gameplay

#

mirage which is made by some third ubisoft studio felt very clunky
but i think i will play it to 100% to appreciate your hdr mod

slow sorrel
#

mirage had me so excited until they dropped the gameplay reveal

#

I genuinely thought we were gonna get good parkour

#

and then it was just valhalla parkour but slightly sped up

amber jetty
#

yeah agreed

pale minnow
#

does anyone know why the input resolution for dlss performance is 25% in ac shadows? it should be 50%

image.png
#

but even dlss quality is only 44% input

#

or am i misunderstanding the settings

hollow drum
#

I'm pretty sure those numbers are % pixel count, not % per axis. Which is a bit different from how it's usually expressed.

pale minnow
#

thank you

late pike
#

does this game have issues with latest nvidia drivers or something?

#

I'm getting 60 fps on my rtx 5090 (100% gpu utilization) with frame gen on while settings are on very high preset

#

but the power draw is at around 200W only lol

#

I remember this game ran very good on my system so I'm shocked this is happening

#

also changing upscaling from quality to performance results in like 5fps more

#

while the gpu is still at 100% lol

lavish python
#

or 4.0*16

late pike
#

it's only this game

#

but where can I check

lavish python
#

download and open it

#

100% gpu usage + low power draw on high end gpus is bus interface issue most of the time

late pike
#

nope everything looks fine

lavish python
#

uh

#

no idea then

late pike
#

yea it runs perfectly fine in other games

#

drawing 500W and beyond

lavish python
#

did you change something in npi

late pike
#

not that I'm aware of

#

seems to be an issue with latest windows update

#

I hate when stuff like this happens

lavish python
#

did you update to 25H2

late pike
#

yep

lavish python
#

never use the lastest windows

#

it has always been borked

surreal anchor
#

Did you guys played canon mode?

surreal anchor
# late pike drawing 500W and beyond

My 5090 here as well not breaking over 300W but al almost full GPU usage. 4K DLSS Q FG 2X while not 116 FPS reflex cap in some scenarios. Did you find a fix. And I'm on 23H2 because Ubisoft as well. Star Wars Oulaws was always crashing.

late pike
#

I assume newest driver should include that

#

Alex from Digital Foundry even did a short rant on that

surreal anchor
#

I had the hotfix and new drivers but saw no strange behaviours in any game. Now this... I have an undervolt though. But 300W still to low. Demanding games go 400W easy.

late pike
#

well for me the issue was actually that my GPU could not produce decent performance in that game

#

I had like 28fps or something and GPU only drawing 190Watts

#

300W doesn't seem too bad tbh

#

but idk it does sound strange yea

surreal anchor
#

350W with no undervolt in cutscenes that don't use FG. Might go FG X3 and call it, but I don't think this games needs that.

lavish python
late pike
lavish python
#

game is borked

late pike
#

it was a notorious windows update that completely borked the performance

lavish python
#

oh right

late pike
#

for me it's fixed now

surreal anchor
late pike
#

driver update

#

I'm on the newest windows version and newest driver

surreal anchor
#

Might try updating Windows then. Time to move on from 23H2 maybe? Haha.

#

What's you power draw now?

late pike
#

let me boot up the game 1sec

#

gotta download the AoT upade 🙂

#

I'll report in 5minutes hah

surreal anchor
#

No difference in performance if I mess with DLSS and RT settings.

#

250W power draw makes no sense.

late pike
#

roughly 300W on my end

#

97% usage

#

60fps without Framegen with everything maxed out

#

you're right something is messed up again

#

lol

#

dropping DLSS quality makes no change

#

no difference*

#

this wasn't the case 2-3 weeks ago

#

wait actually I'm not sure

#

actually no performance seems fine tbh

#

I'm not sure anymore

surreal anchor
#

Perfomance is "fine" I guess. Wonder why shuch low power draw. I've read something about some cores being more used than others due to RT, but I'm no expert on this. Might be all made up haha.

late pike
#

I think performance on my end is where it's expected

#

getting 60-70 fps in forest areas with 300+W power draw

surreal anchor
#

Win is updating to 24H2 now. 25H2 is still optional I guess?

late pike
#

dlss quality, no FG

#

I'm on Windows 11, version 25H2

surreal anchor
#

Will boot Cyberpunk just to see 400W haha.

#

It pulls 450W with X3 FG. Nuts.

#

GPU usage at 80ish though.

#

What is this witchery?

late pike
#

lmao yea I don't understand how and when it draws so much power

#

I think in GoW Ragnarok I had it drawing 500W while undervolted

#

but whenever you get 30 fps at 98% usage and only 190W power that's when it's suspicious lmao

lavish python
#

600w + downclock when undervolt

#

try quake2rtx

late pike
#

I have the MSI adapter

surreal anchor
#

But we can agree 250 to 350W on a 5090 at high resolutions and on an RT game is abnormal, right? Or maybe someone with deeper knowledge can justify it...

lavish python
#

exceed 1000w in that game lol

#

and no im not going to play it daily with that config

surreal anchor
lavish python
#

I play just cause 3 recently

#

that game seems to have the lowest power draw ive seen on my 5090

#

Its like less than 500w at 1.07v

#

and 3.2ghz

surreal anchor
#

3.2GHz?! Wow that's an OC.

#

How are you cooling that mate?

late pike
#

probably lives in yakutsk or something lmao

lavish python
#

above 3.2 actually

#

can do 3.35g at 1.11v

#

but that takes 40% more power

lavish python
late pike
#

okay but how?

surreal anchor
#

OK. 24H2 with no KB:5066131 nor 5066835 as random people on recommended online same abnormally low power draw. Performance is fine I guess... Might try FG X3 so I alway cap. I mean... This game does not look like it should be under 100 FPS at some points but it is what it is. Feels quite smooth though.

#

X3 FG, almost half the GPU usage, same power draw :PP

surreal anchor
#

Guess I'll have to play a bit more but first impressions... Rough.

surreal anchor
#

Ghosting in vegetation even at 4K DLAA is massive dude... I'm honestly not awed at all visually by this game. Not to mention pacing, story and animations... Combat seems fun though.

lavish python
#

then yes transformer sr has its issues even at dlaa

surreal anchor
#

Might try J... But Transformer is a big improvment in fine datail. Not sure I can go back to CNN haha.

#

Look #1429978095871332353 message

lavish python
#

the game specifically doesnt work with transfomer well

#

you get insane ghosting with fogs

#

maybe CNN with a higher internal res

#

Well yes. I'd say it's an hallucination based upcalled but I don't think it makes things up on the go. Haha. Another title where I saw it was kind of internally rendering more stuff was Dead Space remake. Huge difference in fine detail in the space suit if using profile K in that game.

#

Games today going all in on RT but you still get shite textures and pop-in every half a meter in your face.

cursive urchin
#

It was always like that

#

And AssCreed was always a poster child for this

#

Remember buildings turning into lego blocks in Unity

surreal anchor
#

I never played AC games so maybe this is why I'm being a bit disappointed with how kind of triple A but cheap this feels haha. I remember I tried Odyssey because I love the theme but ran away grossed out after a couple of hours. hahah.

lavish python
#

its secret optimization mode for conslows

surreal anchor
#

The snowed village looks amazing though.

surreal anchor
#

Context be like... Yes.

late pike
#

the O.G. games were really good

#

but everything after AC: Revelations (which was already a lot worse than Brotherhood) was garbage

#

with AC Origins they went all in on the RPG concept it has today and in my opinion it doesn't fit the series at all

#

boring open worlds, boring side quests, boring story

#

Combat system which has nothing to do with Assassin's fantasy at all

cursive urchin
#

I respect the self-restraint required to avoid using the S-word

crisp shell
#

I dropped this game about midway through (i think?). Really really good opening act but this is maybe the most disastrous the Ubisoft Structure has been to a story since Star Wars Outlaws

#

You're hunting down this group who ruined Naoe and Yasuke's lives and they feel so tangental that they started blurring with the other groups of bad guys i was murdering. At least Far Cry 5, whilst still having this structure, gave you a little glimpse into the consequences of killing Josephs family

#

It's a damn shame because the themes they were playing with early on really got me, especially having a character whose entire arc was making art as a way to process trauma. I do have the bias of despising the writing of Ghost of Tsushima though so anything better than that is a major improvement

#

also love that unlike GoT they didn't completely go the boring route with the soundtrack with JapaneseMusic.wav, going into the first boss and they drop some k-rock on you ruled 😯

#

The gameplay additions were honestly a letdown, i appreciate them doing a soft reboot of splinter cell but feudal but since it's still an RPG AC you have these big open areas not really designed for ghosting but you also can't just kill people in your way by default since you're too low level. Yasuke was cool but they don't really do anything with him and they do the offline MMO trappings of AC Odyssey much worse.

#

it's a damn shame, if it was more tightly focused this would probably be my favorite game in the series (side note that I'm sure will make me enemies: I am a huge contrarian and I think Black Flag is terrible but I am also curious about that remake)

slow sorrel
#

agree with everything said

slow sorrel
cursive urchin
slow sorrel
#

so its coherent

crisp shell
#

there was a reddit post trying to calculate what percentage of the games is tailing missions and Black Flag is in the lead. 60% of its missions involve following someone.

#

It's following someone with the awkward sticky assassins creed parkour and then you enter boring combat where you wait until someone attacks and then press B>X to instantly kill them and start a combo where you then instantly kill everyone else

#

Just an incredibly boring game to play and I really do not get what everyone else sees in it beyond some really fun characters who find themselves trapped in the boring templar v assassin plot. It's the one game I think would work as an RPG contrary to what everyone says (it has an obscured leveling system anyway) so I am interested to see if the remake addresses the issues it has

#

also it can go to hell for the fucking ship stealth mission, what the actual fuck where they thinking

#

@slow sorrel quick question, i do have a display hdr400 monitor and wanted to use your mod from nexusmods for the game but i dont know what settings i should use and or it evens brings me something when i turn hdr on on this monitor. hope you or someone could help me with that.

slow sorrel
#

I’m on a true black 400 OLED and I used peak 400 and exposure -1.0 in the in game settings

#

the renodx settings i have at default

potent trout
#

The question that i have in my mind is, would it improve something to turn on hdr with my monitor or should i hold on to sdr or is it like unnecessary and not useful for me?

versed plank
#

guys, can you use specialK and renodx at the same time?
