But you're gonna be fine with either of those settings I posted.


Maybe someone more knowledgable could chime in on that one. I've seen the screenshots from the nVidia tweaking guide, but in that comparison, CSQuality set to 4 actually looked worse than 1. It doesn't seem to do anything from what I could see in testing. I'm not too sure about CascadeShadowQuality. If they are too hard on performance for you, use these instead: Again, for your machine, just try the values I posted above. You can find sections to shadow tweaks in both links. You can enter whatever you want, but only certain values will be actually accepted and displayed. Please note: You can't just change these values willy nilly to whatever values you want. Your machine should be capable of handling 8K shadows and CSDS0 at 4. With your insane rig with two 1080Ti, I would go for what I posted above. I have it at CSDS0 at 2 (wish I could have it at 4, but that would require 8K shadows which my 1080Ti can't handle at 60FPS) and 4K shadows, which seems to be good.

However, it also reduces your shadow quality because it "stretches" the available shadows you have, so you gotta increase the shadow resolution. If you change CascadeShadowDistanceScale0 to a higher number, it moves that invisible line in the sand of the very close high-res shadows where it switches between different shadow qualities further away from Geralt. About 3-5 meters in front of Geralt, you'll see the shadows switching from lower quality to a higher quality. Just run around with Geralt in vanilla, and look for shadows. unfortunately, not all of these lighting mods work flawlessly, and even the more popular ones such as STLM apparently have some issues. Some particle effects mods are way too over the top, which is why I like Better FX - it blends in quite nicely for the most part.Īnd a lighting mod of your choice, such as STLM 3.2, Wiedzmin Lighting Mod, E3 Lighting Mod, Lighting Deluxe 3.0.
