Any RIFT.CFG Tweaks to increase quality even further?

[Syxx6]

Just wondering if anyone knew a guide or some good tweaks, I can run the game fully maxed no problem at all and I'm looking to tweak it even higher. I have found a ton of guides for tweaking Rift to lower quality but nothing for raising it even higher.

I'm aware of SweetFX and other Shader Overlays / Injectors and they look nice but mainly looking for tweaks etc that can be done with game settings and not just shader tweaks.

Thanks

No one? 112 views and not one response.. damn.

I've done quite a bit of messing around with the .cfg and read all the forums I could find on the subject and the only thing that people say works is increasing the object distance. That being said i've played around with this setting quite a bit and had no luck. Doesn't seem to be any way of improving the visuals of this game.

I'm curious to know your pc specs and frame rates in large world events/ghunts and 20man raids?

you need to lock the .cfg file from being overwritten, otherwise starting rift will reset it

Weird, I can't get any higher than around 30 fps+/-5 during very busy events with better system specs on full max...

What am I doing wrong? Is it possible your simply estimating your fps and the estimate is not accurate?

This. Right click the .cfg file and change it, after you make your changes, to 'read only"

Also, have you taken all the in-game settings related to your gpu and set them to off to force your video card to handle them; then go into you video card and setup a file for the card to have for the game settings, or just use Sweetfx.

ya I do set it to read only when I tweak still makes no difference. Not saying it doesn't work for others but having done multiple screenshot comparisons I don't notice any difference even when setting all the values much higher than default....

No I use FPS monitor w/ Gadgets addon so definitely accurate.

I find it hard to believe he gets 60 FPS with everything turned to max during the large events. I would go for screenshots or it didnt happen.

As soon as the game gets CPU intensive your processor cant cope as it only uses one core.

You can force multicore. I have viewed thread usage while playing and it definitely uses them all.

No you cant.

There is a whole thread about tech performance and how rift is only coded to use one core and the amount of work it would require to make it multicore (from devs, its stickied). You can force it to use a single core and cloaks are multicore but apart from that rift is single core only I am afraid.

You can force multicore. I have viewed thread usage while playing and it definitely uses them all.

Almost all of the things that matter to performance occur in a single thread, on one core. You can't beat the bottleneck by forcing the client to render these sidethreads on other cores.

But they're working on that.
