[2023] BEST PC Settings for Baldur's Gate 3! (Maximize FPS & Visibility)

hi everybody this is Catherine your favorite French Canadian today I'm going to show you how to boost your FPS in Baldur's Gate tree we're gonna start by optimizing Windows after that the launcher and after that we will go inside of the game so now the best setting for Windows for gaming so first of all we're going to search for game mode in the search bar make sure that game mode is activated for the past like here it's pretty good uh you're getting a decent performance and you're gonna make sure that all your resources are focused on the game that you're playing for the Xbox game bar I still recommend to disactivate this one causing stuttering and crashing in some games so I'm not a huge fan of the Xbox game bar and for the capture make sure that the background recording is at off and also the record at the recorded audio is at off another thing that I recommend it's the hardware accelerated GPU scheduling make sure that you're searching for graphic setting you will need an Nvidia card 1000 series or more recent it will really help with bottleneck so if you have a 1050 1050 TI 1060 even the 2060 you can expect a nice two to five percent boost and also you can expect like less stuttering when you're using that so I really recommend to use that another thing that is really important it's your driver make sure that you have the latest driver from AMD Nvidia even intel if you have an igpu on your processor um so for an example here with AMD you just click check for update and you're gonna show you if you have the latest one you can do the same thing with Nvidia another thing that I can recommend with the Nvidia and AMD they have an image killing uh for the past like a couple of months um for from AMD it's called super resolution and for NVIDIA it's NIS I have dedicated video who's gonna like show you how to use that and how to configure it but to explain you quickly what it's about so you need to enable this so for example I'm playing uh in 2K because my monitoring is in 2K I'm going inside of my game I'll lower the resolution at 1080P and the software will scale it back at 2K and with this process I can save like 15 20 in my FPS also you can do it if you have like a 4K Maneater and you want to do 1080p or 2K you can expect a nice boost the image quality will not be the same if you compare with Native but in some game it's working very well and you're it's very tough to see the difference so I recommend to you to use it if you're struggling with your FPS so if you have an Nvidia card just go on your Nvidia setting go to control panel open it go to manage 3D setting and just use pretty much the setting that I'm currently using honestly they pretty much default so the first one that you need to change is your low latency mode if you have this technology make sure that it's at on the other one is your if you want to lock your FPS uh for example you have like a 170 Hertz Monitor and you want to stay in your g-sync ring range sorry you just put your FPS here at like something like 167 something like that you want to be under 170 Hertz to always stay in your g-sync range so if you want to do that it will do that for all your game it's a global setting over there so I'm gonna unlock it and this is pretty much it if you have access to the change ECC State I recommend to uncheck it this will slow your vram so you don't want to use that for change resolution make sure that you're playing native so you're if you have a 2K monitor go with 2K if you have a 1080p monitor go with 1080P and super important look at your refresh rate a lot of people are missing this step they buy like a new screen and by default it's at 60 so use the maximum refresh rate that is available on your uh monitor the last Prime reader will be your g-sync so I recommend if you want to use g-sync I recommend to first of all you need to enable it and I recommend to use the enable for window and full screen so if you're playing a game like in borderless mode it will be applied also you can select just one display screen depending on whatever if if your second screen is not compatible with g-sync you will just push it to one monitor uh me I'm not using it I have a 40 90 uh for my GPU so I just want to unlock my FPS so in majority of the game I'm getting like 250 FPS and um my monitor refresh rate is at 170 Hertz so I just want to lower my input lag so that's why I just unlock everything but it really depends on your situation so this is pretty much it for NVIDIA another thing that I recommend it's your energy profile so write energy in your search bar go to Power option make sure that you're running something like balance or eye performance um on a desktop computer it should not be an issue but if you're playing on a laptop really make sure that you're using that or a special profile for performance from your brand like Asus Dell or whatever the thing is sometimes when you plug your PC in the wall unplugged using it with the battery sometimes it stay at power saver and you don't want to use that when you're playing a game so super important to be plugged in and also uh to use a proper uh performance profile another thing that I can recommend it's the intelligence than by list cleaner this is a software made by the guy from ddu um it's it's pretty amazing honestly um it will help if you don't have a lot of ram in your PC so if you have four gig of RAM 8 gig 12 gig after that you should be fine Windows is doing the job properly so it will free memory and it's going to make sure that it optimize your standby list so what I recommend normally it's look at your total memory here in my case it's 32 just divide it by two so for me it's 16 just press start and it will run automatically and you just lower the software like that and you're gonna make sure it's optimized so it's a really good software and also it helps a little bit with uh stuttering so I really recommend to use that one last thing is um I have dedicated video on my Channel about overclocking CPU overclocking GPU depending on your brand and stuff and it's pretty good because it there are basic overclocking guide I don't touch voltage so it's pretty safe you can expect some time two percent ten percent boost in your FPS depending on your turmoil depending on your component but it's it's something that you need to look at too if you want to optimize your PC um for the best performance so now let's go inside of the game so when you will launch the game you will see a launcher like that I did a couple of tests for DirectX 11 versus Vulcans and you have two different API over here if you have an Nvidia card for me direct X11 was better I was getting 10 to 12 more FPS less stabilization in my FPS I'm getting some random drop with DirectX it was a little bit better with Vulcan but I still recommend to go with DirectX for NVIDIA card if you have a radiant card I test it on my RX 580 and it was better with both can better fps but also more stable FPS so my recommendation is radium normally go with Vulcan but honestly just do some testing before doing it uh it really depends I don't have all those video cards some generation are different so the last generation from radiant I don't have it so maybe it performed better with direct access 11 but honestly normally radiant is always better with Vulcan so that's why I recommend to go with Vulcan so now let's go inside of the game so now inside of the game so first of all make sure that your display adapter uh using your proper GPU I know a lot of you folks are playing on a laptop so you don't want to see your integrate GPU you want to see the dedicated one also I really recommend to use your native resolution on your monitor so if you have a 1080p go 1080p if you have 4K go 4K take your maximum refresh rate also so in my case it's 240 I don't know why it says 39 it seems like they just do minus one over here display mode make sure that you're using the full screen one don't use borderless or window yeah you will see that you're getting some random stuttering with border lasso that's why I recommend to go with full screen I don't use the v-sync I always disable that in any game I don't like the input lag that vsync will provide you can use other technology like g-sync or freesync if you don't like the t-ring when you're playing the game you can just like activate your vsync if you want now let's go to the custom parameter so first of all model quality I have three different options over there you have two percent that you can gain High to medium medium to low I just saw one percent difference so that's why I recommend medium it's pretty much the same thing with detail uh distance not a huge impact in my FPS that was a bit weird so it's like two percent low versus medium but medium versus I ISO 45 so that's why I recommend to go with medium instance this distance sorry I recommend also to use medium too much pop in at low uh if you want like a better image quality honestly just go with medium for this one texture quality and texture filtering it really depends on the amount of vram that you have if you have a lot of vram just make sure that you don't um uh take all of it make sure that you have 10 15 left in your vram on your GPU so you can use a MSI after burn if you want to see the amount of vram that you are using uh for example if you have like 10 gig and more you can probably use ultra and as an isotropic at maximum and if you want to lower over there make sure that you lower also the other one and just follow those steps I'm gonna put it back at Max animation level uh detail you can go at medium two percent difference between low and medium three percent with I and medium is a good compromise I recommend to this activate sorry I recommend to this activate the dynamic crowds uh this one was thinking like crazy my FPS on my laptop I had like an old Dell laptop with four cores and eight Treads with an integrate uh not an integrated a dedicated GPU but it's a 1050 mobile and uh yeah when I disactivate this it helps a lot I gain like six percent uh in my FPS for lighting this one is really important if you want pure FPS just go low everywhere if you look at the shadow if you go high too low you can expect 12 boost over here Cloud Ultra too low you can expect another 10 percent boost and quality uh Ultra too low you can expect a eight percent boost in your FPS so it's pretty huge but if you want a decent image quality what I recommend is go with medium everywhere uh you will lose for sure FPS but honestly you don't need 300 FPS in this game so if you want to keep a decent uh image quality but good FPS good performance I recommend to go with medium after that in the post process for sure if you have the LSS go with quality don't use balance and performance they're pretty trash I feel like the game is too much blurry but you will gain a nice 20 in your FPS with quality so I definitely recommend to use that for AMD FSR not a huge fan it's the one version the 1.0 version so maybe just wait an update to for the 2.1 it's not you know you will not gain a lot of FPS and your game will look very blurry so don't use that uh if you don't have the LSS and you don't use FSR anti-aliasing I recommend just removing it it's pretty bad the TAA and the Lea honestly it's very blurry you can try SM AAA uh but I'm not a huge fan of it for ambient occlusion if you uncheck it you can expect five percent boost uh but the game will looks very flat so it's questioning for friends do you really need those FPS if yes just uncheck it if you don't I recommend to stay at uh stay checked because you will see that your image quality will be a lot better field just removed that God Rays you can expect four percent if you uncheck I recommend to use that to uncheck it Bloom same thing two percent over here and some surface scattering you can expect a nice three percent boost in your FPS so I just unchecked the rest of it so this is pretty much it guys Baldur's Gate tree guide if you have any question just comment in the YouTube section post meter rig CPU GPU and RAM I will try to help you the best that I can and don't forget to subscribe to the channel peace
