The following settings were taken from Digital Foundry's Rift Apart PC review, THEY did the research NOT ME.
Optimized Settings

If you're planning to use ray tracing then use IGTI (Insomniac Games' Temporal Injection). Otherwise use your prefered one.
(Personal recommendation: DLSS if you have a compatible NVIDIA GPU)

Crashing
Nixxes are working hard to resolve all the crashing issues however there are a few tips which helped some people (including myself)

Try the following if you're experiencing frequent crashes:
  • Disable NVIDIA Reflex Low Latency in the settings
  • Try lowering the Texture Quality
  • Disable ALL ray tracing settings

Yes, I think so. They haven't released any optimization patch since...

If it helps, switch from Exclusive Full Screen to just Full Screen, changed everything for me

on rtx 3080 ryzen 7 5800X3D running everything ultra 1440p 144hz monitor. my fix was locking to 60 fps. works perfect. Hope This Helps

@Zolton The only comparison I can seem to find is this one (https://youtu.be/jdMN775AwPo?t=71) which shows it does have a very slight performance impact, still, it's more of an impact than AF should be having considering it shouldn't be impacting it at all really.
I can't seem to find any explanation as to why though.

@Morellen wow that's actually intriguing, I would love to see a detailed video comparing that specific setting and possibly a technical explanation on why it's so taxing :FH5Upgrade:

@Zolton in 99% of games Anisotropic has next to no effect, you're correct, but in this game for some reason it seems to actually have a relatively high performance cost hence why people are putting it on lower values for this game.
Zolton (it/her) 8 Nov, 2023 @ 7:13pm 
people actually think lowering anisotropic does anything? does 16x really kill the performance that much at 1440p??? even if tried and true, it's such an old and simple texture filtering method that has been around for probably 20 years at this point...

Also try expanding your page file. the game isn't installed on my install drive and it still helped when i made it double my installed VRAM size
