Find Your Optimal Graphics Settings Balance

Start with a Baseline Configuration

Load the world with your shader or RTX pack at default settings. Walk through all test rooms and note your average FPS and visual quality. Take a screenshot in a complex lighting area (like the glass corridor) to use as a reference.

Adjust One Setting at a Time

Change a single graphics option—such as shadow quality, ray bounce depth, or reflection resolution—then return to the same test room. Compare your new FPS and visual appearance to your reference screenshot. If performance improves significantly without noticeable quality loss, keep the change. If quality suffers too much, revert it.

Prioritize High-Impact Settings

Shadow distance and reflection quality typically affect frame rate most. Start by tuning these. Then adjust secondary settings like ambient occlusion or light bloom if you still need performance gains.

Verify Across All Rooms

Once you've found settings that feel balanced, walk through every test chamber. Ensure your chosen settings maintain acceptable frame rate and visual quality everywhere, not just in one area. The variety of lighting scenarios helps you confirm your setup works reliably across different conditions.
