yo PC specs are in the description you've read the title so let's get into it for display mode the best options to pick are either full screen or windowed full screen the common myth out there is exclusive full screen reduces latency and provides you with more FPS in comparison to full screen borderless or in this case windowed full screen this used to be true over a decade ago when borderless full screen was just introduced but not now don't take my word for it though go into stats and click Text only next to client FPS game latency CPU render latency CPU U present latency CPU and game to render latency CPU plus GPU when you're in a game or the shooting range you'll see all the information up the top in the corner try switching between exclusive full screen and window full screen to see if your latency gets lower or your FPS gets higher spoiler they won't change at all the fact that there are still people out there who think nothing would have improved in over a decade when fulls screen borderless is an option in every single game is laughable this is why the people saying it never show proof so if you love alt tabbing out of your game to bully people on Discord as often as I do select windowed full screen to make your life better also keep the stats on because you'll need them to tweak some settings later so here you'll find a bunch of FPS limits the ones people are most likely to use are limit FPS on battery limit FPS or Max FPS first of all you should never limit your FPS if you can avoid it because you'll always be adding input lag same as when you use vsync to stop screen tearing don't do it if you have a laptop though it's probably best you do limit your FPS if you're finding it's getting too hot while you're playing games this is because excessive and prolonged Heat is the major culprate for Hardware malfunctions and laptops can't dissipate heat as effectively as desktop PCS whether you're on a laptop or a desktop though I'm going to show you something that will probably surprise you if you limit your FPS the frame time and frame rate become unstable if the frame rate is unstable it's doubtful you'll notice a difference in fps if the frame rate is high but if the frame time becomes unstable that's when you'll start to notice micro stuttering a common thing I've seen people do is use vsync and combination with an FPS limiter here's what that looks like people would probably say use the Nvidia control panel in instead to do these things because it's better but it looks exactly the same if you ever need to limit your FPS for any reason I'm going to show you the best way of doing it thanks to Casey who told me about this in a comment on my previous video look up Runa click the first result which should be Guru 3D rtss Runa scroll down to the bottom then download and install the latest version when you run it you'll see it in your taskbar click it on the front page you'll see a frame rate limit section input your monitor's native refresh rate and when you press enter it will take effect immediately first of all look how straight these lines are in comparison to before when I let the game and the Nvidia control panel handle it you won't get any micro stutters using this method because frame time becomes a solid line if you're specifically limiting your frame rate due to screen tearing and it goes away after inputting your monitor's native refresh rate keep raising it until you find a value just before the screen tearing starts to occur so if your screen starts tearing at 300 make the value 250 or as close as you can without seeing the tearing the reason for doing this is because limiting your FPS as high as possible reduces the frame time latency to find the best Nvidia reflex low latency setting we're going to be using the stats in the corner I showed you how to set up earlier select on plus boost in the Nvidia reflex low latency area check the stats then compare to the on setting everyone's Hardware will have different results you can see mine works better with on plus boost which relies more on the GPU to help reduce latency if you have a stronger CPU then on will work better for you something you've probably noticed is even though on plus boost is better for me in reducing latency my FPS has taken a small hit my FPS is still high but I've also noticed in after the burner that on plus boost adds slight bumps to the frame time whereas if I select on it's better for the frame time so for me personally I'm happy with just the on setting for a smoother experience I think this setting works best for most people too which is why they made it default click on Graphics quality what you see here are the default graphic settings that valerant sets you up with leave multi-threaded rendering on because it improves your latency and FPS in comparison to when it's switched off on their side it says it improves Graphics quality I see no difference you'd think they'd know what the settings do in their own game material quality makes objects in the environment more reflective including your weapon since the Reflections in medium have a weird dark tinge to them I personally prefer low because it gets rid of them all it brightens up the environment and makes things look less cluttered the two main things I've noticed about lowering the setting from high is not only do you get a significant FPS boost but it also seems to do more towards reducing your latency than selecting on plus boost in the Nvidia reflex low latency section choose high if you care more about image quality or low for the FPS and latency benefits don't even consider medium here we arrive at probably the most useless setting in valerant in games where the developers are competent this setting manipulates the texture quality in valerant there's no difference between high medium or low it's literally a placebo setting and it has been for years maybe it's never worked since it doesn't do anything there's no performance impact close your eyes and select whatever when comparing the detail quality settings I saw literally no difference in performance or visual quality between low and medium but when you select High the visuals receive a pretty decent overhaul if you can spare the slight performance cost like high can high is definitely worth it but if you care more about FPS and would rather have less visual clutter choose medium or low UI quality doesn't do much High adds Garian blur to the game in the background medium gets rid of the Garian and low darkens it choose whichever option you like because it doesn't have any performance impact on the game vignette adds darker colors to the bottom and the top of the screen to make valerant look more cinematic this doesn't affect your performance at all so choose whichever option I prefer off we talked about vsync earlier keep it off if you have to limit your frame rate to eliminate screen tearing use reever tuna rtss to do so anti-aliasing Smooths out jagged lines seen on various objects in the game environment the further away you are from the object the more you can notice it in this comparison you can definitely see msaa four times is the best option and since there's barely a penalty on performance msaa four times is the one I recommend an isotropic filtering makes surface and object textures more detailed the higher you make this setting the further away from your character it goes when you compare one times to 16 times you can definitely notice Improvement in texture quality also it barely has any penalty on performance therefore I recommend 16 times an isotropic filtering this is perhaps the lowest IQ setting I've seen in any video game instead of adding a brightness and contrast slider the developers would prefer you to enable this instead which does the same thing for a 100 plus FPS penalty you can make your game look like this without a performance penalty just by messing with your monitor's brightness and contrast keep this off if you love the fact that the previous setting takes off 100 FPS then you're going to love experimental sharpening because it does almost the same thing sharpening reduces blurriness and makes objects around the environment look clearer on my system it takes away nearly 100 FPS and adds a lot of latency turn this setting on if you have brain rot Bloom is supposed to add a glow around reflective objects let's play a little game pause the video and ask yourself is Bloom on or off it's actually on right now you might be thinking it's not showing properly because I changed material quality to low earlier I knew knew you'd think that so I set material quality to high to add more reflective surfaces before I showed the picture oh and by the way it leeches a little FPS having it on so now you've discovered just how useless it is keep it the hell off you can only see what Distortion does when you look down a scope it's basically that disgusting circle thing they thought would impress 10-year-olds but ends up looking cheap it won't affect your performance in any way but it sucks turn it off there's a reason why they put this setting last you'd think cast Shadows would mean it would cast Shadows but it only makes Shadows appear on your player and gun not only does it look much better off it actually gives you a few extra frames all right we're done I hope you have a good one today ra ra I'm going to stay in my vent ra I'm so scary oh no you don't like the sound I didn't know he could come out of the vent I didn't I'm not going to lie I didn't know come out of the V I didn't know I didn't know I didn't know oh my God oh my God I get
