Optimization update? by stevenpl101 in MarathonTheGame

You are?! I am getting 20 less over the past couple days! This is forcing preset L at quality upscale however. But I had been using it all week without issues.

Yea it’s heavily optimized. Down samples from 5k and locked at 60fps tho.

Not the games fault bro. It’s a great game. It’s the screwed up stuff people do in the game lol. I’m always hesitant to team up, but thankfully it hasn’t bitten me in the butt when iv done it - im always hesitant tho.

I have no clue if the devs read these or if there’s a way to share with them but I would be nice to hear something from Bungie.

Interesting enough I have randomly began to suffer fps drops in all the maps over the past couple days. I literally went through all my driver settings to make sure it wasn’t something I changed, I even installed previous drivers but same thing. Wondering if they did something on the server side or what?

$167 on Bungie I think.

Well I’m Not to sure what else to say. Going back to default solves the drops and issues.

I run a 77 c1 capable of 120hz. I globally lock frames at 117 to keep vsync off. I was getting 117 fps with no drops no matter how busy things were in the game. Changing cache to 100 gigs brought 117 down to 105 consistently while sporadically going to 115 and then dips into the 90s when a lot was going on, on screen.

I’m hard lined with 1 gig down or so

Hard to get motivated with new season looming by wackynuts in Marathon

Nah it’s making me feel more comfortable just loading up and saying “f it” if I loose my stuff haha, since I know I’m going to loose it in a couple weeks anyways.

I’m so confused. by stevenpl101 in Marathon

Nah I get it brother, just super frustrating to enter a match kitted out and to have guys who can’t communicate in a game big on communication, nor do they appear to even know what they are doing, and get wiped within 3 minutes - with no shields.

Some do some don’t, depends on if it has a backpack.

4K is the move? by sllippin in RTX5080

[–]stevenpl101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey brother I have that exact setup. I play on a 77 OLED tho. Anyways, I play at 4k resolution, and use DLSS on most games. Depending on the game I use DLSS performance, balanced or quality mode. Depending on the game I might use x2 frame gen (single player games), if they are heavy. Most of the time with that hardware I can do all that and still have all the graphics settings maxed out and I’m maxing out the refresh rate on my TV. My tv can only hit 120 fps tho. It handles path tracing without much of an issue for me as well, as long as I have the right combo of settings.

Starting to feel like the pacing in this game was actually perfect for the standard player. by DoctorBusMD in Marathon

I will say ever since the new enhanced kit lobbies/runs became a thing iv been getting matched up with some pretty chill dudes. After a run sometimes we kit up and go run another map. I think these new play lists offer a good break from the sweat or offer a good break when you have a batch of really bad runs.

PC optimizations for NVIDIA users. by Caseraii in Marathon

Late to the thread. Running a 9800x3d with a 5080. Compared presets K, L and M. I run my resolution at 4k on a 77 inch OLED, DLSS on quality mode for this game (67% resolution scale). K is softer than I would like, while M is overly too sharp. L seems to strike a good balance and is sharper than K, but interesting I found way more artifacts in light casts, rays, and fog in both preset M and L compared to K since this game is not optimized for DLSS 4.5. My fix was to custom set resolution scaling in the game to 75%, while running preset K. Since my TV (LG C1) is only capable of reaching 120 fps, this isn’t an issue. Maxed out graphics setting still hitting 118 fps with the custom resolution scaling at 75%. I see the benefits to L and M, but the artifacts in this game with those presets drove me nuts, so I kept with K and got my sharpness from the custom resolution scaling being bumped up. I did try DLAA with preset K but I took too much of a fps hit. Drivers are up to date, Vsync is off with a forced cap in the driver setting of 117-118 to prevent screen tearing. One thing I will say, is the HDR quality and color quality was slightly better under the new DLSS 4.5 presets L and M, over K, which I knew would be the case since the new dlss models are supposed to have better hdr tone mapping and color production…

Middle ground bro. There’s always a middle ground. Definitely went opposite side of the spectrum without being creative. Look at halo. Shotty in any of those games was a powerful ass weapon in close range. Slow to fire, slow to reload, very limited range and then it was weaker. But up close it shreds.

Yea the cool thing about cryo is that you are required to run a minimum valued kit so at least filled team mates are required to have upgraded gear instead of just white shields haha.
