Saints Row Reboot launches today. This game will allow gamers to drop into the large open world and wreak havoc in it. The game comes with several weapons and allows players to blow up tanks and vehicles, making for a solid experience.
The game is giving the Marshall Rocket launcher away for free to gamers. This weapon will be accessible right from the beginning of the game to help players create some noise in the game.
On PC, the Saints Row reboot comes with several settings to choose from. These settings will help users fine-tune the game according to the capabilities of their system.
What are the optimal in-game settings for the Saints Row reboot (2022)?
The optimal settings to enjoy a 60 FPS experience in most systems are listed below.
Display Mode: Set the Display Mode to “Fullscreen” to let the game take full control of your system. This will simultaneously result in higher performance.
Resolution: Set the resolution to the highest supported by your panel. If you are playing on a 1080p display, set the resolution to 1920 x 1080. If the maximum resolution supported by your display is 2160p, set it to 3840 x 2160.
HDR: Gamers can choose to keep HDR turned on if the display supports this technology. This will result in better contrast ratios.
Refresh Rate: Set the refresh rate to the highest supported by the panel. For most displays, it will be 60 Hz. However, for high refresh rate monitors, the value will be higher.
V-Sync: Unless you are facing extreme screen tear issues, we recommend you keep V-Sync turned off.
Field of View: Field of View is a personal preference. I prefer a viewing angle of 90°. It can be different for other gamers.
Hide HUD: Unless you are trying to take a screenshot in-game, we recommend you keep this option turned off.
Graphics Quality Preset: We recommend you set this option to Custom as we will be going over all of the in-game settings in detail.
Ray Traced Ambient Occlusion: If you do not have a powerful graphics card (at least an RTX 3060 Ti for 1080p, RTX 3070 for 1440p, or RTX 3080 for 2160p), we recommend you keep this option turned off.
Advanced Display Options
Frame Rate Cap: Gamers can set a frame rate depending on the maximum refresh rate of their monitors. This will provide a tear-free experience in-game.
Anti-Aliasing: Anti-aliasing can be extremely demanding and can take away a chunk of performance. Thus, we recommend gamers set it to TAA for a balance between performance and visual fidelity.
Scene Detail: Depending on the amount of VRAM available, Scene Detail can be set to either High or Medium, or Low. If the graphics card has 8GB or more VRAM, gamers can go for High. If it has 6GB VRAM, Medium is the best bet. If the graphics card has 4GB of VRAM, gamers should opt for Low.
Shadow Quality: We recommend setting the Shadow Quality to Medium for a modest in-game experience. Shadows are super intensive and can take a chunk of performance away.
Water Quality: We recommend setting the Water Quality to High if you have a capable GPU. However, for entry-level GPUs like the GTX 1650 Super or the RTX 3050, Medium is the way to go.
Undergrowth: Gamers can set Undergrowth to Adaptive. This will allow the game to load and unload undergrowth assets and textures depending upon the scene.
Post Processing: Post Processing can be set to High or Ultra for most capable graphics cards. However, on entry-level cards, Medium is the best option.
Depth of Field: Depth of Field can be set to High for most graphics cards. However, depending on personal preference, gamers can choose to turn it off as well.
Effects Quality: On most graphics cards, Effects Quality can be set to High. However, on entry-level hardware, we do not recommend anything higher than Medium. Low is the best bet.
Texture Cache Size: This setting can be set depending on the amount of system memory you have. If you have 16 GB or more RAM, Texture Cache Size can be set to High.
Texture Filter Quality: Texture Filter Quality can be particularly demanding on your hardware. Also, leaving this setting at the absolute highest will result in diminishing returns. Thus, we recommend most gamers to go for Anisotropic 2x or 4x.
General Reflections: General Reflections can be set to Medium for most gamers. However, if you have a capable GPU, it can easily handle High.
Planar Reflection: Like General Reflections, most gamers can leave Planar Reflection at Medium. However, for capable GPUs, the setting can be cranked up to High.
Screen Space Reflection: Screen Space Reflections are extremely demanding. Thus, for most gamers, we recommend leaving this setting at Low. Gamers with a capable GPU can crank up to Medium. High will cost a lot of performance.
Vehicle Shading: Vehicle Shading is not very demanding. Gamers can leave it at High.
Global Illumination Quality: Most gamers can leave Global Illumination Quality to Medium. Capable GPUs can handle High easily.
HBAO: HBAO is very taxing on GPUs. Thus, most gamers can leave it at Normal.
These settings will help gamers get a steady 60 FPS even using some modest hardware.
Ray Traced Ambient Occlusion: If you have a powerful graphics card (at least an RTX 3060 Ti for 1080p, RTX 3070 for 1440p, or RTX 3080 for 2160p), we recommend you keep this option turned off.
Am I reading that right? A powerful card means turn it off?
