rtao the most affordable frametime rt feature? In cyberpunk rtao is one of the most demanding, as demand as the reflections (its called rt lightning medium in cyberpunk) and oddly enough its also cpu heavy in that game. It depends a lot from game to game, there is no such thing as "light" ray tracing, it will always depend on how good and optimized the implementation is. Control does not use rt ambient occlusion, instead it uses rt for indirect lightning + shadows which results in the same visual effect and does what ambient occlusion does and even better while being more affordable, but how many games have done that aside from control? check digital foundry for this.

I noticed the deformation tech, along with the fact that the suit's cloth behaves as it would in real life while web-slinging and specifically when diving with air passing through it - which could be yet another shader atop the texture's maps... But the overall performance is MUCH better than that of the Remaster, so I'm assuming that was improved as well.

The PS5 version of Miles Morales has recieved several patches since muscle deformation was added to the suits, most notably the VRR, 120fps mode. Now with the unlocked framerate on a proper 120hz VRR enabled display, like the LG C1/C2 OLED, the game runs consistently over 100fps at 1440p with raytracing without muscle deformation or over 100fps at 4k with dynamic resolution scaling without the raytracing but has the muscle deformation. Also the regular performance mode, not performance RT, has greater crowd density.

@corey_massey

Жыл бұрын

@@SE-fq4gf There is no way you are referring to the PS5 version of the game. 1) even in this DF video they note that the Performance RT mode on PS5 has DRS with 1440p showing up in all test throughout the game. So while it may be possible to go as low as 1080p the times where it might do this are so infrequent that it does not show up in testing. With the way DRS works, no one giving analysis of the game would use the lower bound as the game resolution, they would use the resolution that shows up most frequently in testing. The reason for this is because the game would only drop in resolution as a response to what would be a performance heavy area for the target framerate, ie an area of the game where the game would drop frames, like Time Square, would lower the resolution to the lower bounds to help maintain the target framerate. The funny thing is that in the DF test of this game and the Spiderman remaster on PS5 both games performance RT mode have a native pixel count of 1440p. The regular performance mode resolution is higher than that at 1800p. Also in both games DF performance analysis the average range for framerate is between 90- 100fps in both performance modes with stretches of the game at over 100fps. The ironic thing is that neither game has framepacing issues outside of a 1 frame hitch that occurs at the start and finish of cutscenes. So in play, the game never has stutter of any kind in any mode on PS5. I can personally attest to DF's analsis as someone who has the Platinum for both games on PS5, played on a C1 OLED with and without VRR. The PC version of both games however has a shader compilation issue that is present on alot of games of the current generation that causes stutter, but this issue is not present on the PS5 version at all. I can't speak to how performance was when muscle deformation was added, but I can speak to how performance is now that VRR has been added, which happened after deformation suits were added, and at no point when playing on a C1 OLED in performance RT mode with VRR active does the game ever stutter or appear to be anywhere near the 48fps VRR limit, this is new game plus with all the suits unlocked from the start of the game. And just to test that it isn't an issue on a fresh load of the game, I started a new save and played to the point where Peter gives you the classic suit and saw no framerate hitches or issues with or without VRR active. I dont know it kinda feels like you are intentionally underselling the PS5 version of this game to feel better about your hardware. The thing that makes me question your integrity here is every analysis of both Spiderman games that can be found on the internet shows that the game never falls below 55fps at all in any section of the game so it makes your claim that it dropped below 48fps (the PS5 VRR limit surprisingly) seem questionable. The only performance analysis that i could find that is showing a drop to 55fps is a day one analysis of the Remaster game (not Miles Morales) on regular performance mode in Time Square and its momentary, like you had to be watching the framerate counter to see it momentarily change to 55fps before going back to 60fps. Since then there have been several patches adding things like Performance RT, Muscle Deformation, and VRR all of which have dramatically improved performance and visual presentation on PS5. Today on PS5, all analysis that can be found on this game shows it has 2 performance modes which are the regular performance mode at DRS 4k/60fps with muscle deformation higher crowd density at an average of 100fps, or performance RT mode at DRS 1440p at 100fps with raytracing but no deformation on the suits. The questionable thing is the VRR patch on PS5 doesn't actually change anything with these performance modes except unlock the framerate from 60. The VRR patch does however alter the native 4k raytracing mode at 30fps, making it run at between 40 and 48fps with RT and muscle deformation by using a proprietary LFC solution that keeps the game from tearing despite being below the target VRR limit. This mode has no stutter as well.

@corey_massey

Жыл бұрын

@@SE-fq4gf So i went back and watched both videos again around the time stamp that you provided and in this video they are using the PS5 version in Fidelity mode vs the PC and in the PS5 VRR video they are using a Samsung display refresh counter not an actual framerate graph. Anyone who has a PC that they can connect to a TV knows that the display counter on a TV is never accurate about the framerate of the game on screen, as the display refresh counter is tracking the screen refreshes not the framerate of the content onscreen. Even if we take the reading from the refresh counter as the actual framerate, that blip of a frame drop is not what causes hitching, stutter or noticeable framerate spikes in play. Anyone who has a PC knows this because you can turn on the NVIDIA control panel which shows the CPU and GPU usage as well as the actual framerate counter for any game. When you turn on this function of any NVIDIA driven PC, you see that every game ever made has the framerate going up and down at all times no matter what is going on in the game. These dips are not what is meant by framerate spikes, framerate spikes exist when the GPU persist at a low rate for several frames at a time therefore causing the screen to tear as the display refresh cannot keep up with the irregular frame cadence. This is why VRR, Freesync and G Sync have become staples of PC gaming, because it syncs the screen refresh rate as near as possible to the actual framerate of the game which prevents or reduces screen tearing. The visual effect of framerate drops without VRR, Freesync or G sync is that the image will appear to skip frames or steps in the motion. The same is not true for frame time which is persistent at a set rate (except in FromSoft games or games with frame time issues). This is where the GPU cannot deliver the next frame or set of frames in the alotted 33.3 milliseconds (30fps), 16.2 milliseconds (60fps) and 8.4 milliseconds (120fps). The onscreen image will persist on screen longer than the alotted time and it will cause a visible stutter or pause in the fluidity of motion. A game can have low framerate and consistent frame timing and you will only get skipping animations, or it can have solid framerate and poor frametime, and you will get just stutter, or you can get poor framerate and frametime issues and you will have both skipping animations and stutter. A game is said to have smooth framerate or a locked framerate if it delivers the next frame on time and it holds a specific framerate output rate for long stretches of time. When we see readouts of framerate graphs it is showing the persistence of frames (frame time) and the consistency of frames (framerate). Drops in the rate at which the frame is generated is common because GPU's creates several frames in advance of what is actually on display and it doesn't become an issue unless the GPU has not produced the next few frames in the time it takes the screen to catch up to what you are seeing on your display. So even if we substitute the screen refresh as the framerate, the blip to a low rate would not produce a noticeable stutter, it would create a noticeable tear of the image at the top or bottom of the screen (god forbid the rate dropped so low that it occurs in the middle of the screen) and it would look like there was a skip in the motion animation. A frametime error would produce a stutter but as shown in every analysis of both games the frame delivery is fixed at 16.2 milliseconds, the needed time to produce a stutter free game. As for the game after the deformation patch but before the VRR patch, as I have already stated, i cannot comment and every post I have seen of this issue is from a year ago after the deformation patch but before the VRR update to the game performance. Again having tested this on my PS5 and C1 OLED today, I can't say that I see any major drops in framerate or any major stutters while swinging through the city. Also i can't find a single posting for this issue after the VRR update. All issues for stuttering i have found are for the PC version of either game and what has been identified as shader compilation issues. So if there was a performance hit on PS5 that was being acknowledged by Insomniac because of the suits before the VRR patch, it doesn't seem to be there now after the patch because as I have pointed out all recent framerate testing shows that the game runs smoothly at DRS 4K/60FPS in regular performance mode or DRS 1440p 100fps in Performance RT mode.

dat bye at the end

I wonder if the texture pop-in is a result of some kind of optimization to reduce texture streaming load/loading times since PC is obviously still inferior to consoles without DirectStorage. The game has fantastic loading times on PC with basically zero asset streaming stutters, I wonder if the side effect of that is random textures taking much longer to load, although, the cutscenes with permanently low res textures is definitely a bug that should be fixed.

I have an older PC i7700K @4.8ghz and a GTX 1060 6gb and what I can say is that this game seems to have better CPU performance. I played Spider-Man Remastered right after launch and CPU was poorly utilized, having major FPS drops for no reason but with MM while webbing around, I had more stable performance, however changing settings midgame caused it to underperform big time. I'm really excited to play it. Looks to be a really sequel to that universe

Yup in Marvel's spiderman remastered If you see the city from one of the tallest building (3 world trade center) or you jump from it, the fps drops abruptly until you reach the ground. That fps drop doesn't happen at all on Miles Morales, not even at night, which is amazing.

Don't know if I missed it in the video, but are they going to implement RT shadows into Marvels Spiderman Remastered for the PC?

Is there a reason why texture filtering remains at 8x as compared to 16x? Isnt anisotropic filtering one of those no brainer settings that you easily max out afaik?

I always put it at 16x because in pretty much every game I've played, it has no impact whiles making the quality of textures look better. The only areas I could see a benefit for 8x or lower is with APU's which share the memory a bit like how consoles do it but even really weak gpu's, 16x doesn't seem to have any real performance impact.

I think Alex recommends it because for optimized settings every percentage of performance gained is worth it to them and most people would say 8x doesn't look that much different from 16x. I always put it to 16x on PC as it's irritating in console games having blurry ground or distant detail because they almost always use the lowest setting.

@@10whiten99 AF uses A LOT of memory bandwidth. That's usually fine on PC's with dedicated memory for both the CPU & GPU, but a console has to share it's memory between the GPU & CPU. Doesn't help that consoles in general opt for GDDR memory which is great for moving around large data sets, but isn't ideal for the CPU side which usually wants to use very little bits of data moved at higher frequencies than your general GPU related data sets.

In the images of the NPCs on the stairs, the outlines of the clothes and their different colors cannot be distinguished, and the defined red color of the stairs does not appear either. In the video it only shows a mass of blurry pixels.

If they would actually play the game with these optimized settings it would make sense. After 15 minutes of playing with textures at high at 1440p i still get a point at which a big stutter arrives the reported memory usage goes down and the fps goes to the 40-50 range with small stutters. This is when i do as much swinging as possible in a short amount of time, for some reason the game just puts a part of the memory in the shared pool while removing a part from the dedicated pool.

Great work! I'd love to see a DF review of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, with particular attention to performance.

@@razorhanny I dont think they will face any bottleneck issues unless they have a garbage CPU...which I doubt since they shelled out the cash for a 4080. On my 5950x and 4090 the game barely touches my CPU at all, and I dont use DLSS3. I havent adjusted my settings to these "optimized" ones from the video (going to in a moment), I just set everything including all RT and texture settings to their max values, 3440x1440, with HDR enabled, and I run generally WELL over 100fps, with rare drops around 60 when its trying to pull in textures (directstorage really needs to be mainstream on PC...). Isaiah will be fine as long as they arent running like an i3 or something.

For the optimized settings i would leave Hair on HIGH as all other settings look like a PS3 game. Other than that another excellent video, saved me like 15+ FPS with almost zero quality loss.

I have a 5900x, 6900xt stock with all settings to high on 4k with FSR 2.1 on ultra and I’m getting around 75-80fps with RTX. Turn that off and I get 120fps. Just as a reference for the community.

I believe that texture popping in this PC port is caused by the lack of (good) asset decompression acceleration, which is present on consoles
