Motion blur - off on everything including racing game as I need to see the apex and breaking markers. Maybe keep on arcade games like need for speed & forza. Dof - usually off. Cromatic aberration - definitely off. Bloom - depends on game but usually on I have my games dark and the glow contrasts well. Lens flare - un needed and can fill up the screen. Shadows - if you look at real life shadows they are blurry and reach to grab each other when they are close, low & maybe medium are more realistic. Vignette & film grain - off film grain maybe on very subtle low number. V sync - off seems to make game slightly worse and I've never noticed a screen tear in my gameplay until I slowed my gameplay down to 2% for a video. Nvidia PhysX - usually on. Not necessary but it can add Immersion to long haired 3rd person games. But can also be gimmicky as hair can loose control and become unrealistic. Head bobbing - on if done well. Minecraft yes. Skyrim I have a mod for it but very subtle. Don't like a character that floats but is annoying if not done well. Mouse smoothing - I have my mouse app changing dpi & several in game features changing mouse sensitivity don't need anymore.

Speaking as a photographer I have to say that a LOT of these "photographic"/"cinematic" effects (Chromatic Aberration, Lens Flare, Vignetting, etc) are things we work to REMOVE. They even go so far as to measure CA/Vignetting on lenses and make profiles to remove it automatically in the major photo processing/editing apps. Now purposefully vignetting can be used well in images depending on things, however for the most part you want to remove it at first and add it in later.

Good choices, and great video. One correction. Turning off V-sync does not sync each frame with your monitor like you said @6:49. What V-Sync does is the opposite. The way computers paint a screen, is they build a frame in what is called a frame buffer from top to bottom in the background, and then swap it with the one you are seeing. this allows you to smoothly see one image to the next. With V-Sync on, this is how it works in games. The problem with this is in the old days, monitors were very slow, so some frames would get skipped. and other frames would end up getting painted on the screen twice. It would cause lag, and choppiness. If you turn it off, it tells the computer "I don't care if you are done with the frame buffer, just send whatever you have to the monitor every time it refreshes. This means you get the latest information possible, so if it's a shooter, and someone is running across the screen, you get the most updated information on where he is, but it also means if the buffer was only half done, that the lower half of the screen is what was from the last frame, and shows what looks like a tear. So, if you are ultra into competitive shooters, then turn it off and live with the screen tearing. If you don't need that incredibly small additional advantage, turn it on, so you don't see any ugliness.

That's not really what v-sync was doing, it comes from CRT and they actually had higher standard refresh rates than LCD displays did in their first decades. After the electron beam scanned each line of the picture, it would v-sync back to the top and begin redrawing the screen refreshing the picture. IN THAT vsync time, you could update the frame without tearing. In recent years Variable Refresh Rate has come in and frames can be refreshed when they are ready without tearing as the monitor waits for a new frame, my monitor supports 48-144Hz refresh at 1440p resolution. VRR is using "Adaptive Sync" from the VESA spec .

After you reduce shadow resolution, perhaps also consider reducing shadow distance. What this does is spread your smaller resolution over a smaller area. This effectively restores the crisp ultra shadow details again by removing shadows in the distance. Interior dungeons in Skyrim for instance can benefit from a very small shadow distance, and outdoors you might not notice a bigger shadow distance giving more grainy shadows, since the ground nearby is often covered in clutter and grass anyway.

I actually tend to keep head bob and mouse smoothing on depending on the game (and as long as it's not some sort of competitive PvP game). I do think they add to the immersion by keeping your running and looking around from being so robotic and unnatural. Realistically speaking, running at full sprint will not maintain your head at a static position, and when your look around, it's not on some sort of rapid, hyper-accurate swivel.

@KA24DERACER

Ive always liked head-bob and camera shake (so long as its not completely over-done). Especially in something like a Mech game. In a game like Mechwarrior or such, a "lot" of camera shake and "head-bob" really helps sell the idea that you are in a giant, heavy mech. If there isnt any camera shake or head-bob then IMO it doesnt seem like you are in a giant robot at all.

As a game dev here are some specific pointers on some of the more useful effects: - Motion Blur simulates what your eyes would see at an infinite framerate, where you would see all of the intermediate positions of the stuff on screen as they move, it is only appropriate if you're already at max framerate. - Bloom handled properly with HDR lighting can be very important to completely manage the on screen colours, along side Tonemapping. - Low res shadows usually make nice looking blurs but the resolution becomes apparent when things move a lot, if the game lets you play with the Filtering quality then you can go high on resolution and filtering and get the nice soft look, but again mind the processing! - PhysX is usually separately managed from the rest of nVidia's Gameworks library, it's heavily integrated in to game mechanics and most games use it for everything from character movement to any interactable object. If you have a quality setting for PhysX, not the rest of Gameworks, that is actually a quality setting, higher is actually better (more CPU intense though). - Smoothing is actually more manageable than Acceleration, with smoothing the speed of the mouse is slightly closer to what your muscle memory is working with. With acceleration things get really broken, your muscle memory can no longer manage the movement properly because the speed of the mouse relative to the onscreen movement is constantly changing. Acceleration is one of the worst things even when generally working on a computer and not gaming.

@@MastaSquidge In real life motion is smooth and infinite, in game there are discreet images and worse still discreet positions for those images limited by the number of pixels. The only way to get your eyes to see the same thing as reality would be to have an infinite framerate at an infinite pixel density. Yes we are reaching higher numbers, but we're limited by more than just the refresh rate and screen res, we also have to deal with the hardware performance. Once you reach the rate at which changes are indistinguishable, which is around 60 to 75 Hz, the motion smoothness will remain constant, but the blur effect will not be what you think it is. Motion blur is incorrect and looks wrong at anything less than those framerates, but once you're above 60 to 75, motion blur is necessary to capture the intermediate motion regardless how high the framerate. Of course it's never actually done correctly and instead the designers tend to over-extend the effect beyond what's physically accurate.

For people on a budget, turning off V-sync can improve overall framerate, especially on AMD cards. To prevent tearing, try to get the settings high enough so the game runs at just below your monitor's highest refresh rate. Ex. 110fps on a 120hz display. 60hz displays means you need to target 50-55FPS to prevent tearing, which may make more quick action games, like competitive FPSs sub optimal... but for adventure/RPG/story driven games it should be ok.

Yes, a billion $ company doesn't do as much for security as flipping a default nobody wants anyway. And even worse, some games enforce silly options, so the only way to get rid of them is to use a system that doesn't support them (if the game doesn't refuse to run there at all), hack some settings files, or even worse, get a version of the EXE where the option has been hacked out.

Thankyou for this. My personal hated effect are those that simulate the eye adapting to changes in lighting. Because some developers don’t think the human eye does this properly. The narrowing of graphics options the user can easily configure is getting quite frustrating. I have damage to my optical nerve, and some of these settings just make games unplayable for me. There may be a lovely dark shaded scene, but all I can make out is a flat black screen showing nothing. Consideration for Accessibility options in this area would be nice, much like options for colour blindness or hearing loss.

The absolute best Depth of Field I ever saw were in some Skyrim ENBs - dynamic DoF with incredible sensitivity & accuracy. Beautiful. Literally turn it off in every other game because as motion blur - blurry messes and weird obvious DoF filters look UNNATURAL!

The reason why "motion blur" is so pointless is because your eyes/brain will naturally blur motion for you when needed. In-game, it just degrades your image quality. Bloom has its place (mostly in older games); I'd probably keep that on unless it's outright terrible. V-Sync is worth keeping on if you have performance to spare, but it's the first thing to turn off when you don't.

Your eyes don't naturally blur motion for video/computer images the same way they do when looking at something in real life. The reason is that video is composed of discrete images, and real life is not discrete. Your eyes will have blurring applied to what a computer would present as a single "frame". Video cameras will also have motion blur (although different from what your eye sees naturally) if you check individual frames, which is why adding some motion blur helps add to the immersion. Most games go overboard though and add way too much.

@@burningsinner1132 Well, it's not actually a glitch. Part way through displaying a frame, the PC-and-game generate a new frame, so the GPU stops rendering one frame part way through, and continues with the newer frame. It results in a big cut (a tear) where the images don't match right through many or all of your frames, expecially noticable during big movement, like when you turn and the whole world spins around. V-Sync ignores newer frames until the current frame is done generating -- usually the image improvement is more meaningful than the ~4 ms input delay. If you see tears, turn it on -- otherwise you may as well turn it off.

Film grain an help in only one case : if your screen or the settings in wondows/gfx driver are bad you can have banding effect in the shadown, then film grain or another kind of dithering can make the picture more tolerable. Especially if you are sensitive to banding in the color blends.

VSync is also great for old games when the FPS balloons up to 300+ which can be detrimental to your GPU, or if you've got one, cause a hissing GPU to hiss. I tend to just turn it on as I've had more issues with it off, than on.

Per-object motion blur, which is how it's meant to be done. Blur each object individually, based on their movement, rather than blurring the whole screen uniformly based on the camera's movement. Unfortunately, most games do motion blur using the latter approach, which leads to it looking like shit.

Funny thing about mouth smoothing. Everyone used to use it in the old cs 1.6 days because of ball mice. It made aiming easier before laser/optical mice came out.

Thanks! Awesome list. I play BO3 Zombies on steam. I have an older laptop I play on. Im going to mess with all these settings to see if it makes it run smoother

My worst is V-Sync being off by default and Motion Blur being on. With every new game I install, V-Sync is the very first thing I enable and then motion blur disabled if a simple on/off option. But if motion blur has a slider with say a '0' through to '10' setting, then I sometimes set an absolute minimum of 1 or maybe 2, because a very slight and subtle minimum hint of blur can be effective. I like Light Bloom on and for some games film grain works. Weirdly chromatic aberration works for The Division - I played much of the game with the setting being on, then one day I turned the setting off and it no longer looked nor felt right, so back on it went (not for all games though). Also I know many gamers set head-bob off for a competitive edge in multiplayer, but for me personally I like the realistic motion and realism it adds to a game if it is not over exaggerated. Also head-bob makes for a more rewarding and challenging game and not too easy - I would prefer multiplayer games disable ability to turn it off as it doesn't present the game fairly on an even keel. After all when your running around for real, one's head does bob and the body and head does not stay smooth as if your sitting in a wheelie based rigid Daleks body from Dr Who.

I love the hair effects in "SOME" games. I am a gamer who likes "eye candy' flaunting in front of me while in high speed or acrobatic combat. Straps, Chains, Tendrils, Trench Coats I love and adore, but I have played some games where the effects are so miniscule you can tell the developers or their bosses {CDPR} didn't care about it enough to fully flesh out what could be something amazing. Similar to the leaves that fall around you in Ghost Of Tsushima, effects are awesome, but only if their of quality design.

I remember I played Morrowind on my crappy PC (with some minor graphics mods) on 20 to 30 fps outside and 60 inside. I never felt annoyed even once. Game was smooth as hell.

If your monitor can't display faster than 60fps, running a game at over 60 will do absolutely nothing.

The trick to using VSync is to not use the in game one but NVIDIA's VSync, specifically in the Adaptive or Fast settings. This should keep your screen from tearing while also avoiding input lag. Also, VSync is an easy way to lock a game's framerate if they don't have a framerate limiter. Some game physics get really weird when the frames go above 60 FPS.

I cant remember exactly the mechanisms by which Enhanced Sync works, but IIRC while the end result from using it is similar to Vsync, the method by which it achieves it doesnt introduce input lag in the same way. Vsync not only locks the framerate to a whole fraction of the monitors refresh rate but it will also throw out and/or hold on to frames and double display them in order to sync them to the monitor, enhanced sync does something different (Ive tried to look up what the mechanism is exactly for this but Ive not been able to find a good in-depth explanation for it) and whatever the mechanism is, the difference in latency is pretty small, running from practically the same as without running any sort of sync to adding around 1ms of additional latency, which is nowhere near what a person would be able to notice. Vsync on the other hand can add up to around .06 seconds of latency (two frames at 30FPS from the PC having to toss out a frame and wait to display the next one), which is definitely enough lag that a person could easily notice. Granted thats if the game is running at a low enough FPS that it has to lock the framerate at 30, but even at 60 two frames of latency would be .03 seconds, which again, is still plenty of latency that someone could notice.

Freesync/G-sync (pretty much the same now) work by dynamically changing the monitors refresh rate to match the frame rate so the frame will always display on a refresh cycle which fixes the issues of stutters and input delay caused by V-sync. The tech obviously adds latency because it needs to calculate things to do this but overall its muuuch lower than V-sync.

The monitor then alters its refresh rate to match whatever framerate the game is running at. Theres no "calculations" going on or anything like that. Freesync does not add any latency. Gsync can, because it has a 3 frame buffer built into the monitor, so up to 3 frames of latency could theoretically be added depending on what exactly its doing, but freesync will not. Now Enhanced Sync on the other hand can add a tiny amount of latency. As I said, testing showed about 10ms of additional latency from running Enhanced Sync, but thats nowhere NEAR noticeable compared to the 60ms or more you could get from Vsync.

If my PC can run the game at well over 60 fps, I keep V-Sync on, otherwise it tears or micro-stutters.

Chromatic aberration adds a bit of depth. It can be used artistically too, like in SOMA, for example. Why is vsync on the list? It removes screen tearing, unless you have a freesync/gsync monitor. I wouldn't turn it off, but just make sure it isn't cutting the framerate in half.

This is so accurate. Everything I thought is already here

Vsync eliminates screen tearing by matching the monitors refresh rate with the frame rate the computer can do. If you are using a 60hz monitor then sure there might be some input lag, but it won’t be noticeable over the built in lag from playing in a low refresh rate monitor.

I have a 60hz monitor, if i turn off vsync, my pc temperature goes through the roof instantly.. on any game. Runs great tho, would melt my gfx pretty fast

No, it wouldn't....

Motion blur in recent games (per object motion blur) looks really good imo. And in sub 60 fps it can actually make the game appear smoother and less jittery.

Can you give an example of a game in which it looks good? I have yet to play one.

@@adityadas5820 It makes sense in Spiderman since you're moving incredibly fast, and at really high speeds it starts looking more realistic. I haven't played Cyberpunk or Alan Wake 2, but I'm skeptical. The Cyberpunk footage in this video looked pretty bad with motion blur on.

​@@notstarboard9792I've played cyberpunk for hours and when sub 50 fps playing without motion blur makes everything look juddery and also motion blur adds that last bit of cinematic realism to some games. At least in my opinion.

Personally for me I leave V Sync on for two reasons : A) I have an old Dell screen , so I have some tearing issues without it B) Hardware use , some games take "uncapped fps" a bit too literal and try to melt the system by running at what feels 1000%. Often enough they dont have the option to set FPS limits so V Sync is a sort of bypass to lock the game to 60 FPS on my end so it doesnt melt itself or impact other system performance

i want to add Invert Y-Axis on mouse on any FPS games, it is only excusable if you are on the plane... Vibration, sometimes it is just annoying and make my hand more sweaty...
