I’m trying to get the best lighting in this game. RTX on the lighting seems more balanced, still problems of stuttering sometimes and frames dipping. I have an i7 8700k oc to 4.5ghz, everything is on Ultra or High. ---

Forgot to mention, I have to keep adjusting the brightness before without RTX on, maps are either too bright or soldiers get lost in the shadows. ---

The lighting shouldn’t change as the game only uses ray tracing for reflections. I do not recommend using DXR as the performance hit, added input lag and frame pacing issues associated with it is not worth it. ---

I have an i7 8700k oc to 4.5ghz, everything is on Ultra or High. main reason I will not buy 2080. I will wait for the 3000 version ---

RTX ( raytracing ) is still in it’s infancy so I would personally hold off on using RTX whilst playing multiplayer, Specifically for the reasons mentioned above by BassMan\_PC. If you need to play around with lighting, Geforce Experience’s “Nvidia Freestyle” is fully supported in BFV. You can bring up Nvidia Freestyle by hitting ALT+F3 and applying filters such as brightness/contrast, Details ( sharpening / Clarity / HDR ), And other variables such as color ( changing image temperature / increase/decrease saturation ) and much more. Just play around with the settings in campaign mode and use whatever the best results are for you in multiplayer. ---

Thanks I’ll try the Freestyle, not used to Nvidia’s settings. Been a AMD user for a while. ---

The loss of FPS with running RTX is just not worth it. You’re better off from a competition stand point to keep DXR off and enjoy the higher FPS.
