Resident Evil Requiem

[fierce wedge]

I’ll update nexus in a bit

Nothing to debunk. It’s correct

I think that was their intention

Like in re4 if you set the sdr eotf emulation setting to off you can see more detail but once you get to the castle you’ll see it reveals really fucked up looking shadows

But on appears super dark

In previous re games the did extremely cursed things in their code to jack up contrast which I think was an attempt at covering up gamma mismatch

[signal sky]

I personally like the crushed look

But I can understand the dislike too

The dark areas look so damn good with it

[blazing fiber]

Is there a difference between Match sdr and default settings but with shadows at 50?

[signal sky]

Don’t think so?

Maybe the film grain

[fierce wedge]

match sdr also uses the vanilla effects

[blazing fiber]

So shadows at 50 is what the shadows "supposed" to look like?

ie what the devs intended

[winged apex]

Then what are the best hdr settings

[small igloo]

depends what you want..

default looks good already

if you want more shadow visibility use preserve shadow detail

if you want closest look to creator's intent use match sdr

I personally went with preserve shadow detail since I like seeing things

so far it looks good to me but could be later on it will look bad in some other location

[small igloo]

these are my settings and I personally think the contrast looks good

but some people found it too washed out

[signal sky]

If you want accuracy match sdr. If that’s too crushed preserve shadow detail. If not even that looks good to you then it’s personal preference

[earnest ether]

rq any way to not have reframework show up at start aka minimized?

[gritty pond]

yeah, under the configuration tab tick remember menu open/closed state

[earnest ether]

thank you!

[formal grotto]

Interessting! It looks like those new tone mapping differences between Model K and Model M/L!!! DLAA apparently does something very different to DLSS tone mapping order wise 😃😃 look at the red glowing sign, with DLSS it loses the bright atmospheric haze, similar to Ray Reconstruction in Cyberpunk, with DLAA its there.

[fierce wedge]

defaults just raise shadows slightly compared to sdr with 2.2 gamma. that's what I like

[distant marlin]

is the test best good to use now? since the current defaults do more than that

[fierce wedge]

I'll upload what I have to nexus

[winged apex]

Does RR set to ultra performance use a different preset?

[signal sky]

Noup

There’s just D and E

For everything

Afaik

[somber field]

Can you please add a recommended settings/your settings tab with the new one? Thank you

[signal sky]

His settings are the defaults I think

[small igloo]

just default, yea

shadows are slightly raised

[fierce wedge]

defaults are my recommended

[unkempt seal]

apologies, wdym by vanilla effects? film grain? what else?

[signal sky]

Theres film grain and noise

Dunno what the difference is

[fierce wedge]

the effects section at the bottom

[signal sky]

I left noise on and 50 custom film grain

Looks awesome

[unkempt seal]

What exactly is noise here? Is it part of vanilla also? Just a generated noise pattern?

[signal sky]

It’s vanilla yeah. I’m not sure what it is

I think it might be situational

When I tried it didn’t change a thing

So I left it on

[fierce wedge]

ya

idk if the game uses it but its there in a cbuffer

wouldn't make sense to use both it and film grain at the same time

[signal sky]

I’d bet it’s situational

Maybe in some cutscenes

[nocturne vine]

@fierce wedge which MBP do you have?

[fierce wedge]

1tb

[nocturne vine]

I wonder if it can run Requiem, curious how OOTB HDR looks there.

But I think this isn't as good an HDR display like M3/M4.

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/294962491878801409/1478448224359551017/IMG_2450.mov?ex=69a86fb4&is=69a71e34&hm=438c9d08be8db4c75c3145c2a1ae97ae8420888b1ebd74369b0fa24f0c8d7306&

Friend's been gaming on his M4 Max lately.

Never cared about HDR, until moving to macOS for gaming, lol. Now he's like: gyaaaatdamn.

Made me curious how OOTB there is.

First chapter of almost all RE titles are free to play, so no need to buy it either.

Might whip it up on my MBP.

[fierce wedge]

does it force hdr on

[nocturne vine]

I keep my Mac with HDR enabled all the time, so.

But I guess you're asking if we disable it in OS, will the game force it?

Or setting the game to HDR will move OS to that.

[fierce wedge]

lmao the app store style images

[fierce wedge]

like does it follow system setting or is there a toggle in game

[nocturne vine]

Good point

Looks like you're about to find out

[fierce wedge]

updated

[proven pilot]

Hello, the last NVIDIA driver is it ok or not?

[small igloo]

apparently you still get less performance even on a 5090

[proven pilot]

Oh ! Lol ok. I'm on 4070ti

With PT, FG X2, all settings on high and dlss quality, I run with an average of 70-80 fps.
Yesterday I had a drop around 50-60fps after 2 hours of games and a lot of flickering appears on my screen after that

[signal sky]

You probably need to go down to balance

The flicker is cause the pc can’t keep up most likely

[proven pilot]

Yes maybe I need to adjust a little, but I dont want to sacrifice too much on this game.

[quasi lodge]

they are my favorite, but i turn off your film grain lol

I suppose you added it because that is closer to creator intent since it's baked into the main game

[fierce wedge]

ya it just replaces their film grain with a better one

[proven pilot]

The vanilla grain is horrible, but just a little bit of custom grain is not bad ( I put it on 0 too 😅 , but I find it not bad)

[signal sky]

What res do u play at

[quasi lodge]

I used to like DOF/Chromatic/Lens flare, but the older I get the more I don't like any of it

[proven pilot]

3440x1440 . 7800x3d, 32Go ddr5, 4070ti

[small igloo]

exact opposite for me lmao

[quasi lodge]

DOF is like only good in cutscenes for me, i've never found one I've liked outside cutscnenes

[small igloo]

but they didn't implement the effects well here

[quasi lodge]

chromatic is like universally shit and so is vignette debatably

vignette is like only good for horror games

[small igloo]

even CA can look really good/cinematic

but yea here it basically just blurs the whole image

[signal sky]

Yeah I’d say you ca go balance

[small igloo]

which doesn't look great

[signal sky]

I love it in requiem. Is a biiit too strong but overall it’s cool

[small igloo]

it's okay

I feel like there are tons of reshade shaders which do a better job

but I don't want the effect to affect the UI

[quasi lodge]

CA has a long history of being bad in many titles, not sure why you would want your game to "replicate the defects of a camera lens"

[small igloo]

so it looks like it was filmed through a camera haha

makes it more cinematic but it definitely destroys image quality

[signal sky]

Yeah if you go that route you can go insane tweaking hahahaha

[signal sky]

Cinematic effect

You can dislike it it’s ok but it has a vibe

[quasi lodge]

film grain i am a bit torn on tbh, I think i am anti vignette

[signal sky]

It also helps hide imperfections

[quasi lodge]

CA is auto turn off, vignette situational but usually bad

[signal sky]

It’s a artistic decision at the end of the day

It’s not like shadows on high or low

[quasi lodge]

yeah the game is insanely dark and moody without vignette (most RE games outside Village are) so I don't understand why its needed here

[proven pilot]

Yes i think it can be the good move. I'll try. Thanks. Do you know if last génération of Oled panel liké tandem oled have less flicker?

[signal sky]

It’s not that it’s needed. But they made that artistic choice

[signal sky]

Nah I have a LG G5 and I also get flicker

In requiem it’s pretty minimal thankfully

But cyberpunk it’s terrible for me for example

[quasi lodge]

they add it to darken/distort your peripheral clarity plus as a mood enhancer

[signal sky]

Oled and VRR= flicker sadly

More or less but it’ll be there

[proven pilot]

Ok, yes it's minimal for me too, it's just after a big fps drop that it appears a lot

[signal sky]

I haven’t had any major flicker in 4h or so

Just a lil in greyish areas and that’s it

[quasi lodge]

in village it's really stark how it changes the mood of the outdoors

vignette off versus on

but when i play like a half hour withi it off i prefer it off

[signal sky]

It ok to leave the choice to the user yeah

I personally always leave it on

[proven pilot]

Ok, your fps should be very stable. Mine are stable but sometimes it drop

[signal sky]

In every game

[quasi lodge]

even elden ring?

[signal sky]

I mean they go from 120 to 60 lol

[quasi lodge]

it's bad there

[signal sky]

Depending on the scene

[signal sky]

I played on PS5 so yeah

The key it’s not fps but frametimes

And the frametimes are indeed pretty damn smooth

Surprising for a new AAA release. I’ve grown used to UE5 frametimes xD

[quasi lodge]

JDSP made a comment that is relevant to this "PC gamers want their games as sterile as an operating table" talking about removing all camara effects haha

[signal sky]

Yeah literally

I have nothing against personal tastes but it’s an accurate definition

[quasi lodge]

in many games CA is legitimately unusable though

so it's almost better to not case by base it

[signal sky]

Meh it’s never unusable

[quasi lodge]

outer worlds...

[signal sky]

The first one?

[quasi lodge]

yeah it like ruins fine detail on the entire image

[signal sky]

I played it long ago so I don’t remember tbh

Could be

[green raven]

Which driver do you recommend now plz ?

I have the one that got removed, but I’m starting to get worried about fan issues

[quasi lodge]

use the latest for sure

the previous drivers literally don't render effects it's hilarious

[green raven]

Ohh

[quasi lodge]

i thought over the weekend like "wow this is great performance for path tracing"

[green raven]

[quasi lodge]

it wasn't actually rendering things properly i lost like 45 frames with the new driver, but I think it's ideal

[green raven]

I’ll install the latest then, thanks!

I just hope it won’t break my undervolt

[quasi lodge]

I don't undervolt i just run at 80% power target which is similar and it kept it

[vagrant haven]

#🆘helpdesk message

[winged apex]

does this game use spatial sound API?

idk if I'm doing double processing by having dts hx enabled

[gritty pond]

@winged apex nah, that's fine, you need one of them enabled at a system level and it reflects that automatically in-game at that point

[signal sky]

This is fake news lol

[quasi lodge]

that's what nvidia said lmao

[signal sky]

Nah Nvidia didn’t say that

[quasi lodge]

well i get way less performance with the new driver

[signal sky]

A random dude in Reddit did

[dire helm]

Source please

[signal sky]

And it’s just fake

[quasi lodge]

noted

well i dunno then i went from like refresh late locked with framegen x2 with path tracing to now 100ish fps

[signal sky]

Cause latest driver is broken xD

[quasi lodge]

I read that it did not and relies on windows spatial (Dolby Atmos, Sonic, etc.) if you choose "Surround Sound Headphones"

they do not have their own HRTF for this game

[signal sky]

Yep I’m running atmos and surround sound headphones with my Sony XM4s

The sound reverberation option is really good too

[dire helm]

Im never sure with my HD800S whether to use surround/DTS:X or not

[quasi lodge]

yeah not sure if "Surround Sound Headphones" is needed but 3D Sound and Object Based sound don't work without windows spatial enabled

[signal sky]

It’s not needed it just changes the position of the front channels

[quasi lodge]

it's usually better for gaming IMHO stereo is more pure i guess

in games without 3d sound just used Dolby Atmos for Headphones and their home theater config

I honestly find pure stereo headphones to also be generally great though

[signal sky]

Oh you use home theater with atmos?

Ive always used headphones mode with atmos

[quasi lodge]

it's actually such a crapshoot that Olek knows well

in games without their own HRTF the home theater setting is the best for dolby atmos for headphones (or any virtual surround)

[signal sky]

Oh damnnnn. New knowledge unlocked

Thanks!

I’ll start using that from now on

[quasi lodge]

but there is a caveat right, some games have their own and then you double process

[signal sky]

Not many have their own tho no?

[quasi lodge]

not many mostly competitive shooters

[signal sky]

Yeah I don’t play those so I’m good

[quasi lodge]

earlier RE have their own

[signal sky]

Not even cyberpunk has it I think

[signal sky]

Oh? Didn’t know that that’s cool

[quasi lodge]

yeah i think Village has their own and RE2R actually had dobly atmos for headphones support in game

[signal sky]

How can you identify if it has one?

[quasi lodge]

that i think requires you to toggle it off in windows

[signal sky]

Sweet. I meant to replay RE2R soon

[quasi lodge]

There used to be a fanmade google sheet that kept semi track

PCGW for basic audio stuff

these days i regretably usually ask AI

[signal sky]

Ooof that seems convoluted

[signal sky]

Dunno if I would trust ai lol

Well I actually just wouldn’t

[quasi lodge]

it's the easiest and they are wrong, but usually somewhat right LOL

[signal sky]

If I’m not sure I’ll just use headphones mode and fuck it I guess (?)

They should make this easier

Requiem is pretty good in this regard

[quasi lodge]

you can't really go wrong with pure headphones everywhere it'

it's definitely easiest

[signal sky]

Yeah I use that and atmos

Usually

[quasi lodge]

yeah i think in that configuration atmos is just an audio upmix

and typically not worth using

[signal sky]

Huhhhhh

Interesting

So you need to feed a 5.1/7.1 to atmos for it to work?

[quasi lodge]

it doesn't worsen the sound IMO so it's fine to leave on

[signal sky]

And then atmos converts to 2.1?

Well doesn’t convert but you get the point

Adapts for headphones

[quasi lodge]

no, if you feed it 5.1/7.1 it will use it's HRTF to simulate those speakers as best it can

like any virtual surround

[signal sky]

That’s the goal of atmos right?

[quasi lodge]

it's not just atmos, any virtual surround software needs home theater to work properly dating back to creative soundblaster days

[signal sky]

Ohhhh I see

So I’ve been using atmos wrong for years then (for my headphones I mean)

[quasi lodge]

my old creative software legit spoofed the speakers in windows so windows itself thought you had a home theater haha

[signal sky]

So surround headphones or home theater with atmos, got it

[quasi lodge]

but it's confusing, you have games like this and dead space that are designed with 3d spatial audio AND for you to have it on in windows

[signal sky]

Welp requiem is not confusing at all imo

[quasi lodge]

AND in this game specifically you should use the home theater option

[signal sky]

In requiem?!

[quasi lodge]

shouldnt*

[signal sky]

Oh ok

Welp if you have surround sound headphones it’s pretty evident which is the correct one

If not home theater

Ok ok good. Lesson learned, thanks sir

[winged apex]

spatial sound API is not an hrtf, it's what gives proper spatial rendering that you output to whatever you want

[serene shore]

no reason to update your driver. Esp. if you overclock

[quasi lodge]

last of us part 1 is a game with confusing audio settings imo, they have a built in 3D audio setting designed to be used with headphones but should not be used with DAFH

in that game if you want to use DAFH, you should go home theater setting route

even though they have 3d headphones mod

[signal sky]

What’s DAFH

[fresh bison]

dolby atmos for headphones

[quasi lodge]

so is new driver actually bad or what, I kinda hate running old drivers on principle i guess i could revert though

[rapid copper]

I would suggest turning off the surround virtualizer in the Atmos app on PC if you're using Dolby Atmos for 3D audio in RE9. It messes with the frequency response and adds an awful-sounding post processing effect onto top of the response

[signal sky]

Oh lol ok

[signal sky]

Ohhhh I do have this on

Does it even do anything if your turn it off?

[signal sky]

It is

[rapid copper]

Yeah it should still allow you to select 3D audio in-game so you get positional object audio, just without the virtualized surround sound processing effect from the Atmos app

[signal sky]

Ohhhh I thought you needed this on for 3d audio in general

[small igloo]

I think generally this should be turned off

[signal sky]

I will turn it off thanks for the recommendation

[signal sky]

Whoops. I’ve always had it on

[small igloo]

otherwise all your audio is "3D" even though it's just stereo

[signal sky]

So just a custom profile with everything off?

[small igloo]

yea it's a bit confusing

but that's how I understand it

[signal sky]

Ohhhh makes sense

[small igloo]

that's how I configured it

[signal sky]

Will do the same then

[small igloo]

I think there is the same option for when you are using dolby atmos for home theater

[signal sky]

Let’s see if I notice a difference

So far requiem sounded good with this on tbh

[small igloo]

there is an option for virtualizing which means it outputs audio through height channels even though it's mixed in 5.1 or 7.1 or whatever

[signal sky]

They really should make this much more streamlined

At least have a wiki

Shits confusing

[small igloo]

yea it's confusing as hell

[light wind]

Hi guys just a quick question. Do I need to download the remove film grain mod if using reno? Or does reno got a slider to completely turn off the grain effect?

[signal sky]

Reno handles it

[light wind]

Thank you!

[somber field]

which is tha atmos app? Dolby access?

Thanks

the app has to be running with the game? or just confiugure once and thats it?

[signal sky]

You have to select it in sound source settings

In windows

[gritty pond]

make sure it's enabled for your output device in Windows

[signal sky]

App doesn’t need to be running

[abstract quarry]

Dors anyone have issue with gsync or frame gen ? My fps goes to 90 at 15-20 its unplayable 😞

[signal sky]

What? It goes from 90 to 15?

[abstract quarry]

Yes

It's sometimes, my screen starts flashing and my fps drops

[signal sky]

Uhhhhh, weird af

If you’re on latest drivers roll back. If not dunno

[unkempt seal]

Wonder how many realistic presets have already popped up on nexus

[unkempt seal]

Doesn’t that option only processes non-native atmos sources?

[lapis plover]

rgba16 is either a massive improvement or the areas i'm in just don't band anymore in general

[rapid copper]

It should apply the Atmos surround sound downmixing to any headphone as long as you have the Dolby Atmos setting turned on in your sound settings for that device

[fierce wedge]

It only applies to post upscaling since doing it by aspect ratio was breaking for me.

I only saw one point where banding was really noticeable and it was in a cutscene

Would have to go back and try that area again with rgba16 and see if it’s better

The tetrahedral sampling may also help

[rapid copper]

You can pop it on and off and listen for yourself in-game, if the mix sounds good to you with it on then by all means leave it on. But in my audio chain it sounds compressed and bad

[lapis plover]

i saw a lot of banding early on with the flashlight in the dark

[fierce wedge]

If you mean rings around the areas illuminated by the flashlight, I wasn’t sure if that was just the flashlight’s texture itself

[lapis plover]

no just usual banding

[sharp stump]

Could be that you have good cooling. lol.

Seems to only affect 5xxx series. my 4080 doesn't get gimped

[smoky kraken]

i just finished the game and i have no complaints. start to finish pure enjoyment. up there with cyberpunk, elden ring, baldurs gate for me.

also i missed ONE raccoon bobblehead. i was hoping i'd find all of them on the first try without looking up any guides.

[sweet estuary]

Wait re4make hadn’t been cracked??

Until recently?

[smoky kraken]

https://tenor.com/view/lilo-and-stitch-stitch-why-mad-upset-gif-3393236

[heady arch]

Nice, let's see if banding is reduced

[heady arch]

I can't understand how they don't see that when in development or just don't care..

[sweet estuary]

Lmao this is kinda real

[gritty pond]

the one in ||Leon's sniper section||, I'd wager

that's the only one I missed as well

[heady arch]

@fierce wedge What's film damage ?

[fierce wedge]

one of the cbuffers that the game has. Don't think I've seen a scene that actually makes use of the slider yet, but I imagine its probably something like this

[unkempt seal]

Kinda?

The befores and afters are literally the SAME as the meme https://www.nexusmods.com/residentevilrequiem/mods/140?tab=images

lmao incredible

[marble iron]

lol it literally just adds blue

[quasi lodge]

i don't think dafh 3d surround works if you have it off

no virtualization cant utilize extra channels

maybe I'm wrong

[versed magnet]

@fierce wedge After finishing Requiem, I got the hankering to go back to RE7. Went to Nexus and found this guy who included your RenoDX together with REFRamework and Optiscaler, in a packaged mod. Don't know how you feel about that sort of stuff Musa? He does credit you at least.
https://www.nexusmods.com/residentevil7/mods/227?tab=description

Same with this guy actually, and he doesn't even credit you.
https://www.nexusmods.com/residentevil7/mods/226?tab=files

[fierce wedge]

ya i gotta report these guys

dp farmers

[mental glen]

Musa boutta go on a killing spree

[fierce wedge]

omfg their link shows up before mine

on google;

[unique snow]

is it the death screen?

[small igloo]

No I'm pretty sure enabling that setting just puts all audio in a 3D container even if it's supposed to be stereo

[fierce wedge]

idk maybe, would have to test it out

[quasi lodge]

i think you're right

[unique snow]

someone else pointed it out to me

was their first thought when seeing it

(the screenshot of it)

[small igloo]

time to report this guy

[mental glen]

not for me

[unique snow]

amazing

[eternal trench]

GG. Steam says I spent 25hrs. I think somewhere around 18 is correct.

Thanks to everyone involved in RenoDX for making this special game even better

[sweet estuary]

Holy mother of exposure and contrast

[unkempt seal]

Wtf

[shrewd hull]

probably done fidgeting with the settings, landed on something close to vanilla HDR levels of shadow detail with lower black floor and a bit more saturation by preference

reno | vanilla

'preserve shadow detail' for comparison

reno | vanilla

[blazing fiber]

noice. Post your settings 😛

[shrewd hull]

just tweak the saturation/dechroma settings to your liking

[polar summit]

best shadow settings will differ from monitor to monitor

some have black crush

some have black lift

[unkempt seal]

film damage? uuh whats that

[polar summit]

it's a shader that plays in like 2 cutscenes

it also makes sense in said cutscenes

[heady arch]

Scene grading scaling should be 100 ? All three

It was 100 on all three by default in the previous version, now only the first one

[blazing fiber]

The rendering format option dont work on amd at all right?

[fierce wedge]

grading scaling never defaulted to anything other than 0

its just the preserve shadows detail option makes it 100

if you use it with 2.2 sdr eotf emulation then it'll be too dark

[fierce wedge]

correct

upgrading r11g11b10 resources to r16g16b16a16 makes amd cards freak out

[fierce wedge]

so changing the defaults to 85 shadows post tonemap was bad

looks off in the start of the care center

[small igloo]

off like how?

I personally think the shadows are ridiculously dark at times

[copper raven]

What do you have in your mind for new defaults? Pre tonemap?

[fierce wedge]

Maybe 90 pre shadows + 45 post flare

[foggy tide]

Post tone map shadows?

[fierce wedge]

first care center with the lighter still bands, I'm gonna try hardcoding resource upgrades for native and the upscaling resolutions 1/8, 1/4, etc. Anyone using optiscaler to force resolutions outside of those presets won't get that benefit though

looks like FogPS contributes to banding

that was the same shader that was causing banding in re4 around light sources

[signal sky]

@fierce wedge mod is doing some weird shit after graces care center section. Image gets really bright for a sec and then goes back to normal

Specifically in a Leon section

[fierce wedge]

is this with the FOV mod

people had issues with that getting super bright

[signal sky]

Noup

I don’t have any fov changes

Im back with grace and seems fine

[fierce wedge]

I have an idea of where I can look

[signal sky]

Could the banding upgrades cause this? I’m using it

In some camera cuts it also did the opposite effect

Like going from black to normal

But the most prevalent was the image just getting bright as shit/white for a sec

[fierce wedge]

doubt it, guess you can try and test if you have an area where the behavior can be reproduced

[sand pivot]

should i change to this or wait?

[fierce wedge]

idk didn't really test it much but overall it seems cleaner

just see which you prefer

[sand pivot]

so 90 pre shadows keep post 85 or default ?and 45 post flare

[fierce wedge]

post at 50

[sand pivot]

i think you started around that at the beggining

then switched it ahah

[signal sky]

If I find one I’ll do it yeah

This Leon section didn’t have a save point so I could try this

[lapis plover]

ya you're right still got banding in dark areas

[outer ice]

Sorry for bothering all of you but this is my first time using RenoDX and i‘m currently playing Resident Evil Requiem on my asus rog strix oled xg27aqdmg. Are the default settings already good enough or should i change something?

[sand pivot]

default for now is whats best

remember musa keeps evolging it

[outer ice]

Whats musa?

[sand pivot]

whats best for him

the creator

[torpid edge]

I just experienced this, everything gets so bright after the part where ||Leon kills the chunk in the attic.|| Specifically the sequence going from the attic down to the room makes the screen brighter than normal for a sec

[sand pivot]

so just use the defaults if you are new

[outer ice]

Ok so only changing stuff like peak brightness

[sand pivot]

correct

apart from that keep the same

thats my opinion

[outer ice]

Thanks bro! And thanks for the quick response

[sand pivot]

sure! enjoy!

[blazing fiber]

Noticed some weird banding in some dark places. Setting post flare at 35 fixed it for the most part.

[bleak grotto]

Do I touch the HDR slider in game? Or just adjust from the renodx settings?

[fierce wedge]

in game sliders are disabled

[bleak grotto]

Cool thanks

[distant marlin]

noise and film grain are both 0 in the default, isn't that a personal preference? or would you say they just don't belong in the game / badly implemented?

[fierce wedge]

i replace them with the renodx film grain cause theirs looks weird and splotchy

[signal sky]

Mark it as spoiler just in case but yeah

[sand pivot]

any advice for leon hair artifacts with FG on? like damn is so distracting!!!

i'm guessing is due to how the tech works but some games do it better

[obtuse mica]

i really like the new one added in renodx

[modest wharf]

Maybe try hair strands off/on?

[obtuse mica]

man nvidia need to do something about their drivers like what the hell i went to an older driver 581.42 and now my fps went from 39 to 65 with path tracing in some areas on my 4090 🙂

they need to fix this asap

[sand pivot]

nvidia don't care about gaming anymore

is the sad story

when we were the ones that supported them since the 1990

their market share in gaming is so little now

is all AI

[obtuse mica]

if it wasn't for the community i wouldn't have known, losing like 40% - 50% performance because of some driver issue is insanity

[outer ice]

Does this only apply to 40 series cards? I heard that 50 series cards are not impacted

Guys is the „Match sdr“ setting the best default setting?

[fierce wedge]

it's likely what the developers intended but I find it crushes shadows too much so I made the defaults raise shadows a little

[outer ice]

How do i do that myself? Do you have a preset that i could use 👉🏻👈🏻

[obtuse mica]

im not really sure but on my end it was a massive improvement, i was doing dlss performance + fg 2x and now i can afford to do dlss quality and it looks a lot crisper now

[outer ice]

Thats so insane you shouldn’t have to play with those settings on a 4090 that’s mental

Literally Nvidia destroying gamers

[fierce wedge]

the defaults do that

they raise shadows a little

just click the reset all button

[outer ice]

Ohh okay thanks 🙏

[sweet estuary]

How do you know it’s the mod, do you have optiscaler

[signal sky]

Noup Im full vanilla

And another user also confirmed it just now

So it´s the mod 100%

[spark vale]

https://streamable.com/txsh8o

what was happening to me

it stopped after Leon's Care Center section tho

[signal sky]

Yep same for me

Nice keyboard

[spark vale]

LOL

thanks I bought it myself

[fierce wedge]

gonna add dithering to their fog. seems like most of the banding comes from that one shader

rgba16 upgrades don't really make a difference

[heady arch]

https://scontent.fath3-3.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/645398998_1479806084146312_6708734155885014640_n.jpg?_nc_cat=105&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=13d280&_nc_ohc=d60oItJw0E4Q7kNvwGfyTTh&_nc_oc=Adn0KsTpLWJz8-lygvGcxGIY0F9PpdLeTOHfUtbz3UVGIjfr8VpENtI3swT0RXjti5s&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent.fath3-3.fna&_nc_gid=FGGCFOzhoXlojKMjsfGNmw&_nc_ss=8&oh=00_Afy8I3NJu7yi2uUNhJTjwdZLjHD4r6UNgdiDNVfhbik00Q&oe=69AD96F1

[oak maple]

I'm kinda over RE remakes at this point, I just want new games

[dire helm]

"Preserve Shadow Detail" preset has been working well for me. Defaults look too crushed on my qd-oled (s95d)

[heady arch]

DLAA makes the game look a lot crisper but good luck running it 😄

[steady flame]

Each character has them disappearing for a decade at a time so they could easily hop backwards at any point and set a new game there

[heady arch]

You can clearly see it if you pause the game, disgusting banding

[fierce wedge]

I’ll try adding the dithering in the fog shader and to the ui later

For now I’ll just upload what I have

Improved rgba16 upgrades
Gamma slider moved to after tonemap
New default settings

[sour turtle]

Code Veronica could definitely use a remake if it's the same treatment they gave 2 and 4 and hopefully not 3 (although someone is working on a mod that adds original areas/new boss fights from the og 1999 game). I don't think 1 does though, it's perfect as is

[fierce wedge]

updated

[winged apex]

x3 output scaling in optiscaler helped a lot with boiling and RR blurriness

[noble veldt]

Thats how I planned on playing it plus RenoDX

[karmic jasper]

What does this do? Tell the game the output Res is super high?

[winged apex]

it lets you modify the target upscale res for DLSS and have it downsample back

without messing with DSR

in my case 4K DLSS Q with x3 output

is 2560x1440 to 11520x4320

also increased PT bounces to 5

default max is 3

past 5 it stops having an effect

messing with the output scaling costs less performance than DLAA and it cuts down on the boiling more

needs the latest optiscaler that got fixed for re9

[karmic jasper]

I dont think I'll have the VRAM or perf. headroom for that but cool to see

[winged apex]

it doesn't increase vram much

perf hit isn't big

[karmic jasper]

Fair, I'll give it a try

[winged apex]

it's definitely worth trying, finding the balance of the DLSS level and the amount of output scaling

needs at least x2 to be worthwhile imo

[marble iron]

did you increase the bounces with ultra plus?

[winged apex]

yes

[marble iron]

any performance hits when increasing it?

[winged apex]

i think it's minor

like my native framerate doing all this stuff is only like 10 fps less than vanilla 4k DLSS Q

i settled on doing x3 FG so I have consistent base 45 fps up to 144hz gsync cap

[worthy socket]

got black squares over some lights upgrading to 16bit. ticking enable RT tweaks in reframework fixes them, but then i get white flashes on the ground

[marble iron]

same. using x3 fg with dlls q to consistently sit at 158 fps cap. feels pretty good in terms of latency, no artifacts either

[winged apex]

i've been getting frequent microstutters

for some reason always when playing Grace

at least more frequently

it seems like it's caused by Reflex fps cap or something

I rolled back gpu driver to last january release

going to try later if that helped

[marble iron]

i've noticed that the game feels smoother when playing as Leon, but i thought it was just placebo. guess not lol

[winged apex]

it could be due to 3p camera simply

[marble iron]

i play 3p on both

[winged apex]

but I got visible stutters many times as Grace

9800x3d and 5090 so shouldn't be happening

[marble iron]

i thought maybe it has something to do with hair strands? since grace has more detailed and longer hair than leon. but i didn't try turning it off, it looks ugly off anyway

[winged apex]

they're equally complex pretty sure

[marble iron]

the game also has traversal stutters, it's easy to reproduce in the care center. when going from safe room to the kitchen you're gonna get 2 stutters even with FG off

[winged apex]

i read about people having fg stutter that got fixed by the new GRD driver

and others who started getting it after the new driver

[queen kernel]

i'm such an RE addict that I wouldn't mind an RE4 Re-Remake with the updated engine of Requiem lol it's nuts, i know

[winged apex]

i started playing the game on the new one so I rolled back to compare today

[marble iron]

i play on the latest driver and judging by the nvidia overlay 1% lows are pretty bad with FG, so i guess the driver didn't fix it

they are pretty stable with fg off

[winged apex]

to me it looked like Reflex cap adding the stutter

in an empty room

[marble iron]

sadly there is no way to turn it off when using fg

[winged apex]

well below 90% gpu usage

turning camera with joystick

there were micro stutters

when it should be perfectly flat

[marble iron]

i've heard that special k can disable reflex, might be worth trying

[winged apex]

fg is unusable without reflex

[marble iron]

you mean latency?

[winged apex]

yes

[marble iron]

i think rtss reflex cap or nvcp ultra low latency mode are similar in terms of latency

[winged apex]

no

reflex is integrated into the engine

SK can forcefully disable native Reflex and force it via its own method, but I don't know if it would help here

and don't know if I could even run it in addition to all the other injected stuff

REF + Reshade w addons + Optiscaler

[marble iron]

nothing we can do about it then i guess. the only option is turning fg and reflex off which will make PT unusable

[winged apex]

i don't know, will see if older driver helped me

[marble iron]

571.86?

[winged apex]

there is no point in doing that on 50 series

january driver

it updates the profile for RE9 via OTA either way

[small igloo]

I tried disabling reflex through display commander and it reports that native reflex is indeed disabled even though frame gen is on

and the game still feels super responsive

I'm going to try some areas to see if that actually helps with the stutters

nope stutters still there

[dense sapphire]

are you having stutters while frame capped?

or is it just some areas that have stutters

[small igloo]

its veeery random

I'm frame capped by G-Sync at 116fps on a 120hz screen

it's just random spikes with frame gen

they don't happen without it

it's really weird

they are rare so it's playable like that in theory but when it happens it's still annoying

especially since the game runs so well otherwise

[dense sapphire]

saw someone mention setting a cap in nvcp below your gsync reflex cap

[small igloo]

hmm might try it

thanks

[marble iron]

which areas did you test?

[chilly gyro]

That’s because you have reflex on

[small igloo]

yea I realized what I said earlier couldn't be true lmao

display commander was reporting it's off but seems to still do it's thing I guess

or actually maybe it's just gsync and vsync doing that

doesn't need to be reflex

[chilly gyro]

Iv just finished the whole game locked at 120 in the average lows and 1 percent lows with 0 stutter if you need a hand with settings

[marble iron]

with frame generation?

[small igloo]

did you turn off gsync?

[chilly gyro]

Yeah

[chilly gyro]

No with it on

[small igloo]

on a 120hz display?

[chilly gyro]

280hz

[small igloo]

ah well that's different then I guess

[chilly gyro]

Just cap to 110 on a 120 hz screen with rtss and up be fine

[marble iron]

capping doesn't help with stutters tho

[small igloo]

but that doesn't mean reflex is disabled it just means you capped framerate below max refresh rate I guess

in your case even at half the monitors refresh rate

[chilly gyro]

Capping helps when ur bellow the reflex threshold

[small igloo]

I doubt it will help in my case but I'll try

[chilly gyro]

What are ur full system specs

[marble iron]

5090 9800x3d

stutters are still there no matter what

they are gone only when disabling fg

[chilly gyro]

Did you swap to the new driver ?

[marble iron]

yea, using the latest

[chilly gyro]

Strange everyone said that was fixed

[small igloo]

I'm on the same config

[marble iron]

i guess the microstutters were fixed, fg itself feels very smooth but there are some big spikes occasionally

[chilly gyro]

And ur using this frame cap ?

[marble iron]

no, i'm capped by reflex, but i tried capping via rtss and it didn't help

[chilly gyro]

This is my windows tho, fully stripped and my pc is stress tested to infinity

[dense sapphire]

@small igloo does it happen if you increase gpu load so that your fps is below your refresh rate

[chilly gyro]

Is vsync off in the driver ?

[marble iron]

on

[dense sapphire]

apparently latest drivers have issues with vsync and fg

[chilly gyro]

Turn it to application controlled and off in game

[dense sapphire]

past few drivers

[chilly gyro]

Then use rtss to cap frame withing the cyan range and bellow the reflex thresh hold

[small igloo]

yea still happened while playing at DLDSR resolution with frame gen around 100 fps

[marble iron]

are you using reflex cap method in rtss? or async?

[tropic shell]

For me at least, when i cap in rtss its not smooth and gameplay feels jitery in all my games. When i cap in nvidia app everything is smooth. 4070 ti and 5700x3d

[chilly gyro]

Async

[marble iron]

async is not meant to be used with fg tho

[chilly gyro]

I know but it works, do you want me to make a video ?

[marble iron]

i'll try it rn

[small igloo]

that would feel really laggy though?

[dense sapphire]

I think the latency is just really high with async

[chilly gyro]

It’s fine if you not 100 percent gpu load and reflex is on

On controller btw

Probly not the best for mouse

FPS layout is average, 1 percent and 0.1 percent and it’s never moved throughout the whole game

Well discord compressed the shit out of that but hopefully you can see it doesn’t fluctuate or spike at all

[marble iron]

you're using the wrong area to test

i've just tried async and yea the frametime graph is flat most of the time but there are still stutters. in the care center

[chilly gyro]

I had no stutters throughout the whole game

[marble iron]

guess you're lucky then

i can easily reproduce stutters in the care center. they are consistent

[chilly gyro]

I’m just saying my windows is stripped down for gaming, I have nothing running in the pc apart from the game and afterburner
And everything is properly stress tested results in no stutter

[heady arch]

There are some stutters with Leon later..Nothing major

[small igloo]

for me they are very rare but yea they still happen

[pliant maple]

Are you using frame gen? I had bad stutters when frame gen was on, after disabling frame gen the stutters have gone

[marble iron]

yeah. same for me. i think ditching PT and framegen might be the best option

[small igloo]

do you play at native res?

[marble iron]

no, dlss

[small igloo]

okay I think it should still be playable with PT though

I get pretty high fps even without FG

I want to use FG to lock framerate to be consistent at 116 but I guess I'll just stick to hovering around 90-110

[marble iron]

what res?

4k?

[small igloo]

4k, dlss Q

[marble iron]

pretty high numbers, i don't get that on my 5090

[small igloo]

some areas in care center I drop into 80's but that's still smooth

[marble iron]

depends on the are tho

area*

and camera too

you get more fps in first person

[small igloo]

ah I guess that's it yea

actually if you play first person you could completely ditch RT tbh

lighting looks really good even without RT, only think I'd miss is reflections

but third person the characters look really weird without PT

[marble iron]

tbh the only major difference with path tracing that you can immediately spot is characters faces. in other cases there's really not that much difference compared to raster, especially in dark areas

[small igloo]

exactly

[gritty pond]

@fierce wedge render format upgrade is causing issues for me on the latest Nexus build, which it wasn't on the most recent test build nevermind, think it's due to your previous post that I forwarded several messages below?

[polar summit]

Are you on the latest driver

[gritty pond]

I am

[polar summit]

That’s most likely the cause

I had a LOT of those artifacts with RT on high

With the driver they pulled

I guess they didnt fix it with the rerelease

[gritty pond]

it's fine if I use the pinned test build of Reno or don't use the rendering format upgrade toggle in the latest Nexus build and one of the latest Reno updates includes "Improved rgba16 upgrades", so I figured it was something to do with that

I never got any artifacting with PT, but I saw someone else getting it with RT

[polar summit]

Yea could be as well

I havent seen any issues but ive been exclusively using PT lately

[gritty pond]

ah wait, it says "improved rgba16 upgrades to work for pre-upscale render targets", so that toggle might be scuffed now due to DLDSR/optiscaler, whereas it was fine on the previous test version

[gritty pond]

yeah, scrolling back through Musa's messages and it seems that's probably it

[bleak cliff]

what the hell, my issue with the 4090 was fixed and i'm on the latest drivers (595.XX).
Was the game updated or something? Now I have 120fps on the initial street wtf

[gritty pond]

DLSS has a tendancy to reset itself to Performance when you boot the game up, if you were trying to use DLAA or a higher quality setting previously

[bleak cliff]

I was already on 4k dlss performance

[gritty pond]

then it's magic 🙏

[bleak cliff]

my 4090 was only pulling around 250w unless i downgrade to old drivers. now with the most recent drivers its pulling almost 400w

yes it seems like magic, i dont understand a shit

[dense vortex]

Wait so the most recent drivers fixed that issue with 4090?

[winged apex]

You mean if using output scaling? Even if the input resolution is standard like 1440p?

[wanton river]

yeah just upgraded from 581 to the latest 595 too and performance didnt drop on my 4090

has anyones noticed some subtle brightness flickering when moving the camera/moving around? looks almost like the gamma or exposure updating really slowly

[unique snow]

someone posted this #1475306538481483920 message

probably a renodx issue

[lapis plover]

loaded a save with new version

[marble iron]

yeah rgba16 is bugged, you can test it in the intro street. bright white lights all over the place

[dense sapphire]

What's your display res and dlss setting? After testing a bunch I found that for whatever reason having at least a 3.0 upscale ratio (not 3x output) is what reduces boiling. The output resolution itself doesn't seem to impact boiling much. So 4k dlss performance with 1.5x output scaling for example would be a 3.0 upscale ratio (1080p to 3240p). You could probably turn your output scaling setting down and save a decent amount of performance for basically the same result

[foggy tide]

SAME

[heady arch]

It's bugged in the latest version only or in all versions ?

[foggy tide]

latest. But only on rgba16 format

[signal sky]

Async cap gives me massive flicker

[unique snow]

lol not even the spoiler can hide this bright white square

[heady arch]

NVIDIA have pushed a new 'Resident Evil Requiem' driver level game profile via OTA that targets path tracing performance issues

[marble iron]

wasn't it included with the latest driver already?

[winged apex]

you can restart this service to force ota

[signal sky]

Could the driver level profile be copied to another driver? Interested to try it out

Not that I’m having any issues with the game tho

[winged apex]

yes

[signal sky]

Nice! If someone can share it it would be appreciated

[winged apex]

but it should retrieve it from OTA anyway

[signal sky]

Oh I can do it myself without updating then

[winged apex]

that's how it was possible to get the new profile on old driver when the game ready was retracted and broken

[mental glen]

oh?

[signal sky]

OHHHH I didnt know this! This is very useful for me since I never update to latest

[mental glen]

how do i know i have the new one?

[signal sky]

So just find this service. Restart and it should be in profile inspector?

[winged apex]

yeah

[signal sky]

Nice, thanks!

[winged apex]

maybe it doesn't work if you're on a very old driver

like people running 2025 stuff

[signal sky]

Yeah I’m April 2025 lol

[small igloo]

I don't think I have this service

[unique snow]

you should post your source

[small igloo]

do I need the nvidia app?

[winged apex]

probably

[small igloo]

🙁

[winged apex]

that's how they push them

[unique snow]

seems like you mean that

2d ago

[small igloo]

oh so it already came with the driver then?

[winged apex]

so it needs newest driver

[unique snow]

unless they just did something again

[winged apex]

the driver came out march 2nd

[signal sky]

Ahhhh then rip for me

[unique snow]

can't find anything else

[mental glen]

can confirm these flags exist for me

latest driver

[winged apex]

can you export the profile

i want to try 591.86 with no profile and with that profile to see if it does anything to FG stutters

[marble iron]

where do i check these flags?

[unique snow]

nvidia profile inspector

[small igloo]

this is the profile that came with the newest drivers and it has those two flags

[mental glen]

Gonna check performance again

Cause I’ve no clue if these existed before

I did the service restart

[small igloo]

I didn't notice any difference between the driver that got pulled and the newest driver tbh

[unique snow]

same

[signal sky]

Am I risking borking my game by importing this in the 581.94 driver?

[winged apex]

no

[small igloo]

I don't think so but I don't think it's gonna make a difference anyway

[signal sky]

Probably not lol

I mean the game runs near perfect for me already

Im just curious

[gritty pond]

the performance uplift is fucking crazy with that OTA update

[small igloo]

lol

[signal sky]

HUH

[gritty pond]

went from 99% GPU utilisation on the opening street with 40s - 50s FPS average to sitting comfortably at locked 60FPS ~80% utilisation

[signal sky]

So it does improve?

[winged apex]

with what gpu

[signal sky]

Just with the profile?

[gritty pond]

5090

[marble iron]

what settings?

[gritty pond]

max PT performance DLSS 5160x2160

[unique snow]

I'm so glad I just always update to the latest driver and don't even check anything else, you guys are going crazy over this lol

[signal sky]

They are going crazy cause they in fact update lol

[winged apex]

I was playing with the newest driver yday on 5090 and my performance was normal

[signal sky]

Im in an April 2025 driver and had 0 issues or need for troubleshoot

[small igloo]

I mean my game always ran at around 70-80fps in opening area with DLSS Q

4k

no difference on newest driver

[winged apex]

actually there did seem to be an issue, when I ran the game without FG the gpu woul cap at 90% for some reason, with FG it always had full usage

[unique snow]

I'm used to linux, where new nvidia drivers always bring bug fixes and perf improvment (in general) and new features, currently waiting for 595 for linux which fixes re engine issues (vertex explosions)

played re9 on windows tho

[gritty pond]

this isn't a driver thing, I had no difference on the newest driver, either

it's the game profile update they just pushed OTA

[unique snow]

"they just pushed"

where is the source for that

it is not that I don't believe you, I wish people would just post sources for their claims

[signal sky]

So interesting. I wonder what those flags changed

I’ll benchmark it when I play later today

[gritty pond]

before / after (60FPS cap, but it's the utilisation that's freed up a massive overhead)

[mental glen]

oh wow yeah performance is much better

[small igloo]

which profile did they "just push" though?

[gritty pond]

these flags

[small igloo]

yea I have those flags already

since the newest driver

[unique snow]

2 days old

[marble iron]

wow the utilization drop is insane

[unique snow]

so not "just now"

but 2 days ago with 595 re-release

[gritty pond]

it literally says it right there

[small igloo]

where

[unique snow]

oh I see what you mean

the post is 2 days old

but it says march 4

I somehow missed that part

[small igloo]

I'm confused

I have those flags but performance is absolutely the same as always

PT max and DLSS Q at 4k

[gritty pond]

there was always a game ready profile for RE9, but it just got updated with new flags

[mental glen]

3840x1600 DLAA 591 something driver vs newest with the new flags

[scenic narwhal]

When playing with RenoDX and using this new option
I find my game is micro stuttering, when I switch it back to left then stutters disappear

is it possible ?

[mental glen]

57% faster at DLAA

for me

[unique snow]

lol

wild

[mental glen]

and the original recording was without renodx etc which has slight impact iirc

[winged apex]

lol now I wonder if that was the culprit for my stutters

[mental glen]

ive not had any stutters

i think

but ive not played the game yet really

only this beginning part

[small igloo]

hm I can't confirm any change on my end with a 5090

might be going crazy

game ran fine from the start

[unique snow]

yeah I had these flags before I'm pretty sure

maybe they OTA them to older drivers

[small igloo]

idk, game ran the same on the driver they pulled

[gritty pond]

I have been on the latest drivers since day 1, including the pulled fan issue drivers, these specific OTA flags are new

[unique snow]

yep finished the game with the "pulled" drivers too

I have stutters 🐸

just started a new game to test

maybe 100ms long stutters

not FG related

have them with FG off too

so probably REF/Reno

[dire helm]

I found forcing vsync via NVCP helped

[pearl willow]

RGBA16 is for better gradient handling?

[unique snow]

will try

[unique snow]

this to on?

for re9.exe

[signal sky]

I think this upgrade might be broken yeah

[unique snow]

still stutters

[scenic narwhal]

I double checked again and after a while it started stuttering, switching this upgrade back and boom it works

[signal sky]

I mean it’s just for some ocassional banding so disabling it should be ok

[scenic narwhal]

yea

I keep it disabled

[unique snow]

the stutters are wild

[scenic narwhal]

yea very wild

do you use newest Reframework build ?

[unique snow]

trying now w/o ref/reno

yeah very new nightly

maybe 1 day old?

[scenic narwhal]

same as me so should be good

[signal sky]

Oh I def dont get this lol

With the upgrade

Like at all

[scenic narwhal]

he said its not the upgrade

even without it still stutters like crazy

[signal sky]

Oh

Weird

Probably cooked drivers or something

[unique snow]

stutters gone w/o ref

and I hold ~60fps with PT dlss perf 4k shadows high

no fg

it is 100% ref (or reno)

[signal sky]

Im also using ref

0 issues

[unique snow]

which nightly tho

[signal sky]

Latest build

Same with reno

[unique snow]

17 hours ago? ref

[signal sky]

Yep

[unique snow]

ok will try

maybe I got a botched one

[signal sky]

Oh you´re not using the latest?

[scenic narwhal]

just to be 100% sure you used this option in RenoDX ?

[unique snow]

I have no idea which one I have

[signal sky]

Hahahaha yeah then that might be the issue

[unique snow]

I finished the game with 0 stutters

so just confused

will update both to latest

[winged apex]

the starting street is the one place where I had no stutters at all

[unique snow]

:D

[signal sky]

The place that comes after the care center also runs flawless for me

[unique snow]

oh which reshade do you guys have?

[mental glen]

i do not have that AT all

[signal sky]

6.7.2

[scenic narwhal]

6.7.3

[unique snow]

6.7.2 here

[mental glen]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-67-scp-67-funyuns-funny-gif-75413186200073602

[unique snow]

ok so that should be fine

[mental glen]

same

[unique snow]

trying again

stutters are gone 🐸

oh reshade is not active

forgot to rename again but ref is active and no stutters at least

[mental glen]

weird

[signal sky]

Yeah u had an old build

[mental glen]

i had 0 stutter on that main street in the begining or the alley after it or that building that you enter after that

ive not played further

[unique snow]

well 2 day old or so

[mental glen]

so take that with a grain of salt i guess lmao

[unique snow]

no stutters now

so yeah probably some busted ref build

[foggy tide]

next stop, Death Stranding 2!

[scenic narwhal]

did you beat insanity with or w/o infinite ammo ? 😄

[unique snow]

ok now I enabled FG again and have stutters

... 🐸

wait a second

it is the nvidia overlay?!

when I disable it no stutters

are you kidding me

yeah it is the nvidia perf overlay

[foggy tide]

infinite ammo of course haha

[unique snow]

maybe update your nvidia drivers?

[signal sky]

Hahahahaha that overlay is so bad

[unique snow]

janky shit

[mental glen]

the nvidia one has never caused issues for me, weird

[unique snow]

same

[small igloo]

I have stutters with FG on but they are very rare

I have 0 overlays

[unique snow]

like I played the start of the game before without any issues, so this is just confusing

[signal sky]

I imported the inspector profile and I dont have the new settings

[small igloo]

maybe you need the base profile? idk

[signal sky]

Do I have to update to the latest inspector?

[small igloo]

maybe it's only for the new drivers

if you're on the old drivers you should have better performance anyway it seems

[signal sky]

Oh yeah Im just doing this for science

My game runs great

Yeah I guess I won´t fiddle with it since it just works xD

But yeah seems like the new flags are for newer drivers

[unique snow]

lol

is upgrading to 16bit what causes this?

[gritty pond]

yeah, on the latest build

[unique snow]

anyway, game works again, ~100fps with FG 2x

so kinda like on launch with "pulled" 595 drivers

I think I was maybe 90-100, unsure rn

and no stutters 😌

[signal sky]

Try disabling it

[unique snow]

yeah I did, all fine now

[mental glen]

does this happen if you recompile shaders with the 16bit active

[unique snow]

I can try it

mh deleted shader cache

no compile screen

[mental glen]

reinstall driver i guess xd

that worked for me

[unique snow]

probably taking some global Nvidia cache?

I know where that is on linux

but windows...

C:\Users\Strudel\AppData\Local\NVIDIA\DXCache

here I guess

lol you can't delete it

because nvidia app has the files open

[winged apex]

go inside the folder

[unique snow]

I did

will try DDU

[winged apex]

the ones it doesn't delete are not relevant

[unique snow]

ok

[winged apex]

game's not running so it'll delete that and whatever else

[unique snow]

game doesn't want to compile new shaders

did another game restart now it is compiling

same issue 16bit is just busted

[scenic narwhal]

yea 16bit is busted xD

[unique snow]

lol

[scenic narwhal]

hahaha

[winged apex]

like for some reason my frametime with FG ingame looks like that

it's like micro jagged

when in the game's menu which is also rendering a 3d scene

it's actually flat

and that's paused game

FG off ingame

it seems like it really is FG causing random big stalls as well

i stood around there without fg swinging camera around, no stutters, turned on FG, and when I started doing that I got one huge spike

[marble iron]

yeah there are random big spikes with FG, even on the latest driver

but frame pacing is actually very smooth i think

[winged apex]

that graph isn't normal

in game's main menu it's proper flat

[marble iron]

isn't that because of flip metering? rivatuner still can't display it correctly

[marble iron]

fg is disabled in menus

[winged apex]

but in the main menu it's rendering a 3d scene of the game

[marble iron]

yeah but fg gets disabled when you enter a menu or expect an item

[fierce wedge]

It’s hardcoded for DLSS ultra performance/performance/balanced/quality based on backbuffer resolution. Guess I’ll have to revert it

Not sure the rgba16 upgrades even matter

[wet kiln]

Goodness, didn't know the stuttering people have been complaining about is this bad.. I never had any, just flickering and a bit of ghosting regardless of preset

[timid sky]

have u tried to disable resize bar?

[gritty pond]

it's not enabled for Requiem

[winged apex]

well something is wrong with frame pacing because I noticed VRR flicker all the time, despite having locked framerate capped by reflex, and having gpu usage to spare

in those instances it ought to be a constant

[signal sky]

That´s normal

Its the frame interpolation

[signal sky]

If they give issues I would just remove them yeah

[fierce wedge]

If I leave them to just work on post upscale then they work but their effect is diminished

Haven’t really tested anything

No idea how visible the improvement is

[wet kiln]

Where is this rgba16 option in reno? I'm on the latest one (I think?) from yesterday

[signal sky]

Last one

[wet kiln]

Ah. Is it the right one set by default?

If so I haven't seen any problem so far

[heady arch]

hi, dithering fog when ?

[fierce wedge]

Today or tomorrow maybe

Well it’s before denoising I think so idk if I’ll be able to make it look good

Just gonna have to play around

[unique snow]

musa knows about 16bit issue?

[winged apex]

man I love this game's menu music track

really captures the vibe of the game

[unique snow]

yeah it is really good

sadly the rest of the soundtrack is rather forgettable

there are some nice tracks, but not that many

[mental glen]

well im sure many of the tracks are rather ambient and meant to just underline the mood instead of being in your face

atleast thats what i would assume it is

[gritty pond]

I liked the music playing right away during the cuts to Leon early on

really set the mood coming from Grace

[polar summit]

Leon's combat soundtrack bangs

it is generally understated tho

I ended up lowering volume for everything but music to actually have it more present

[signal sky]

I adore the save room music

[gritty pond]

reminded me of 7's in a good way

how it almost sounds like it's playing from a speaker in-world in a way

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvsxfgABQss

[signal sky]

Yeah kinda!

They are both so good

[mental glen]

damn i like this one

[bleak cliff]

i'm glad i was not crazy. i went from 70-75 fps to 120 so almost a 50% increase. now i want to replay the game in insane diff 😂

[proven pilot]

Hello, there is new drivers ? Is it time to update this time?

[mental glen]

new drivers work very well for me yeah

57% faster with DLAA

probably a bit less with lower dlss res
