    IMPORTANT:

    • If you think the buffer size(s) are not working out then remove those lines (GeometryUpdateBufferSizeMB and ScratchBufferSizeMB). They will go back to game defaults. Or increase them and check whether it is giving you any advantage.
    • If you face stutters in shadows, or light leaks, or any kind of artifact coming because of installing this mod, then set DynamicInstanceUpdateNumMax > 10. You need to tweak it to best suit your requirement.
    • Reducing RoughnessThreshold gives a major boost to RT reflections. It skips (technically sends a miss ray) any shader whose roughness is above this threshold. Default is 0.99. If you think you need more FPS, you can reduce it further but at a cost of losing glossy reflection details. Check article on RoughnessThreshold for comparison.
    • If you observed noise in diffuse GI, try adding the following like under
      [RayTracing/NRD]
      DiffuseMaxAdaptiveRadiusScale = 20.000000
    General Optimization Mod

    RT Features you can selectively enable/disable on your own

    If you want the best from this mod, then tweak it! and share your experience with the community.

    For users who wants to use only RT Reflections, please check out Optimized RT Reflections v1.xx.
    Note that all other RT features are disabled for this optional mod.

    So what exactly does this do? There's a lot of stuff in the description but I'm still not sure what to expect?

    More fps? Less fps? More lighting effects? The same lighting? Better looking reflections or something? :s

      The purpose is it make ray tracing budget friendly. My motivation initially was to create setting which will work out on my rig. But as few user complaint about few RT features not working as expected, I had to look after all the RT settings.

      This mod disables and reduces few settings. Assuming you will be using all RT features, the settings have evolved around that intention, and the current version doesn't really give much heavy optimization as did my previous versions.

      My personal favorite is v1.04, Which should give you a good optimization, but lacks the ability to update all the RT shadows. Please be aware that I haven't updated that version up to the current developments I learned by the time.

      Also, by the time, my mod settings helped me finding more people who are interested in tweaking with the RT setting. So this mod also have been working as a knowledgebase.

    Great improvement on my 6700XT. Before this mod with RT on and RT Lighting off i get around 45-60fps with FSR 2.1 on Quality, after tweaking around with this mod i got 70+fps. Great recommendation for anyone with AMD GPUs. Here my settings
    [RayTracing]
    GeometryUpdateBufferSizeMB = 4096
    ScratchBufferSizeMB = 2048

    Hey guys, I need your help!

    I'm running RTX 4090, i9 13900kf, 2TB SSD, 32 gigs RAM, 24 cores, and 32 threads. 

    What settings should I use to really push and max it?
    I'm not computer savvy, so I would be grateful if you guys could tell me what to do.
    Thank you.

      Surely this is bait? With that set up, you should be able to max every setting comfortably.

      No, this is not fake. On the description page, I don't know what any of the words mean in the default list, so I don't know how I would change settings to max out everything.

      Having such a powerful computer with so little technical know-how may sound weird, but I'm really unsure of how this all works.
      If you were in my shoes, what settings would you go about changing? What can be maxed, and what should just be left alone?

      All help is greatly appreciated; thank you. :)

      In that case, I suppose it comes down to personal preference, whether you want high frame rates (presuming you have a high refresh rate monitor) or you want the best graphical fidelity and visuals possible.

      To be honest, with your set up, you can have both and you shouldn't need this mod at all. You should be able to crank every setting to maximum and still get relatively high frame rates, but again, it depends on what you consider to be "high".

      If I were in your shoes, I would turns every settings to Max, all RT settings on, RT Lighting on Ultra, DLSS set to Quality and see how it runs. You should also be able to turn on Frame Generation (which the 40 series cards have access to) which should basically double your frame rate. If you don't want to or can't use Frame Generation, you could switch DLSS setting to Balanced or even performance, but I wouldn't recommend doing that unless you are playing at 4K.

      Hope this helps

      Thank you for taking the time to reply.

      I thought this mod made the game look AND run better, but from your reply, it sounds like it only makes it run smoother. Is that right?
      I am running the game with all settings maxed out and haven't had any problems with framerates, is this mod then not useful for me?
      If this mod is only intended for making the game run smoother, do you know if the general optimization mod is the same? :)

      Explained poorly, this mod reduces the accuracy of the Ray Tracing effects, which results in improved performance. It is designed for people who are lacking in performance using RT and want to sacrifice some visual quality for a performance uplift. Since you are already happy with your performance, there is no need for this mod. With your hardware I doubt you would notice a difference in performance either.

      AFAIK, the general optimization mod is the same. It is intended for people with low level hardware who need a performance uplift. As someone had mentioned before in another comment, since these mods were originally released the game has seen many updates which have improved performance substantially. Considering this, I don't think you need the general optimization mod either.

    Hey guys. Is this mod like General optimization + RT optimization combined, or do I need to download them separately?

    Also, my computer uses an RTX 4090 and an Intel i9 13900kf; all the native settings are maxed out. Do you know if these mods do anything for my setup?

    Any help is appreciated; thanks :)

    Edit: Are there any popular mods that conflict with these two mods?

      HI!
      - They both are independent of each other, and tweaks different aspects of the 3D engine.
      - Your system configuration is quite high end, and after touching this game after almost two years, the game has optimized a lot, at least on my setup it is performing pretty well. Besides that you would need to tweak the mods according to your needs to get the best out of it, IMO.
      - I haven't come across any mods dealing with ray tracing on Nexus.

    Install Razor Cortex. It automatically detects when you are running a game and prevents core-parking, as well as stalling background applications that you choose to free up RAM so you can have more memory available to the game. Keep it mind that if you run games for a long time and use this application on games that are usually somewhat difficult for your PC to run that this can lower the lifespan of your PC. But keep in mind that I had an HP laptop that I gamed on for a solid 5 years and used that application all the time before my HDD finally burned out. If you have a SDD you should see no issue. Although another cool feature for anyone with a HDD is that application also allows you to defrag games.

    Consider this a cheap tuner for your hardware.

      It's just engine ini settings.  They rarely add or remove those with updates in a significant way, so it's worth a shot.  Worst case it doesn't work/launch, best case it does something.  Try the benchmark pre post without changing anything else whatsoever.

      The commands haven't changed so it should technically still work because these are just hidden options for the engine.

      It's entirely possible that they are forcing the game to ignore some of these settings because of the changes they made to the game but it's not likely...

      You should be able to take this and put it in the same place and make it work
