I wish I knew how to optimize games on my PC to run smoothly

disable shadows

No one knows. It is trial and error. It will be different every game

Decrease resolution
Update drivers
Make sure you're not using integrated graphics
Turn off AA

turn off whatever bothers you the least

some people can't stand not having shadows but don't mind missing AA

some people hate jaggies but dont mind losing shadows

if you have a toaster you're gonna obviously have to take some losses

I miss when you could actually turn off particles in game options.
It's a massive ressource saver, especially for unstable framerate. No matter how you see it, it's all about suddenly instantiating hundreds of polygos with a mini ai after all.

>shadows, ambient occlusion, post processing and resolution
Turn those off/down for the largest gains.

Shadows are always blocky messes with shit render distance anyway. Those that aren't are going to tax your rig like no tomorrow.

go back

Shadows are always about redrawing every object that the light touches, albeit with a much lighter shader that only records the Z Distance of every pixel drawn.

I remember when I used to play Fallout games like this on an Athlon 64 and a GT 210.

You haven't known pain until you've owned a toaster.

>firing up the oven just for a few toasted buns
Wouldn't wanna be the sucker that has to pay your electricity bill. Also my oven is full of utensils like grates, baking trays and pans. Huge hassle to clear it out every time, only do it when preparing something in the oven is actually worth it. For everything else socialist east german tabletop grill master race.

That's why you put them in the oven
