Any Nvidia tweaks we can use to help FPS?

There was a time where you could just edit your .ini files and make your game run super smooth but now they've made it so if you apparently do that you'll now risk a ban for tampering with game files even though no other game to memory does this.
Turn DLSS to balanced and make threads and @ Star Vault in Discord to optimize their game and alloe .ini editing. Cause your FPS probably isnt going to magically improve that much from in game settings being changed.
Most tax heavy are shadows and anti aliasing.

.ini file editing was restricted because it was a main avenue for cheaters to attack the game in the first one. Do recall that a lot of this game is hosted client side.
Not trying to sound like an ass but that seems more of a problem on SV ends than the players. I had made a guide which allowed players to jump easily above 100 fps just by turning shadows off and AA off whilst using the scalability options (which should be in-game honestly) to achieve good frame rates.
The only thing I saw people take offense to was people turning foilage to 0 but all that did was remove grass and not actual bushes.
I know what people are referring to in MO1 and that wasnt the changing of the .ini that was people deleting literal files to remove objects in there game.
Graphics Card Manufacturers HATE HIM. Follow his method and get bigger and better results in 5 easy steps!
Edit: Oh don't be angry, mate. I'm just poking fun with some parody!

tha angry face was my joke nice you didnt got it
i mean you can lower your resolution quality AND you can turn on DLSS ingame with a GTX after that is strange...
i hope nvidia didnt messed up something so we can keep this feature or they force it off for every non RTX user, this is game changing.
also DX11 is faster on my GTX 1070. on 2k with AA, foliage, texture on max i dont fall under 55fps in Meduli with 30 people around and most of the time over 60 fps. without these "tricks" i have 30-40 fps in medudu and game looks still amazing and sharp but if you over do you get pixel flicker.

what's your system specs? devs said that unless you got a low end graphic cards you should worry more about your cpu since MO2 is cpu intensive
it hardly depends on your environment. when alot of people are around you the CPU usage rises untill its bottlenecking so in the end you can play with a low end GPU by lowering the image quality but you cant reduce the CPU usage hardly.
I noticed that the particularly dense forestry reduced the strain on FPS, other's noted on the Help Chat FPS improvements with local VOIP turned off.
Old thread, but I'm bored watching rubberbanding from the latest patch,
Nvidia's latest 460 driver is noticeably faster than the previous 457 one. Be sure to click the "clean install" checkbox, unless you have custom profiles setup for other games (most people don't, and if you dont' know what I'm talking about, you don't either)
If you open the Nvidia Control Panel, and goto "Adjust Image Setting with Preview", choose "Use my preference" and slide the slider all the way to the left, towards "Performance", then goto "3D Settings", highlight each setting with your mouse, and at the bottom in the description, it usually tells you which is the high performance option. Just do that for every setting, hit "Apply" and that's about as much as you can do. Don't worry about messing up settings, the "Restore Defaults" link is at the top-right, so feel free to experiment.
People often forget the hardware side of things though.
Trying to get MO2 to play well on an old laptop, the only 3 things I could do, to increase my fps by more than a couple frames playing with anti-aliasing and whatnot, were to:
1.) Play in full-screen mode
2.) Lower my resolution (no thanks)
3.) Increase the cooling on the video card. When the GPU hits 100%, the video card starts over-clocking until the temperature limit is reached, (86 degrees Celsius on my GTX 1060). The fan is usually at 100% at this point, so the card begins clocking (slowing) itself down to control over-heating.
In short, the cooler it runs, the faster it runs, so cool it more.
If you want to see in-game if this is happening to you, just use something like MSI Afterburner, and turn on OSD (On-Screen Display):
I usually have FPS, GPU Usage, Temperature, and GPU Clock Speed checked.
MSI Afterburner:
https://www.msi.com/Landing/afterburner (what you want is under settings | monitor tab)
Just click the options you want to see, and check the OSD checkbox for each one, and you can watch in-game how your card hits 100% GPU usage, clocks itself up, then heats up, then starts down-clocking if your cooling isn't up to snuff, and it often isn't.
It's pretty common to not realize your video card is sucking in warm air from some other component, like the CPU, compromising cooling, or on older systems for dust to have collected inside the video card air channels. (hit it with a can of air, or some lung-power, and see if makes a difference)
I didn't realize my old laptop was dirty, dinked with every software setting I could think of, then hit it thoroughly with a can of air, and went from 20-30 fps, to 40-60 fps, just from clearing out the video card's air channels.
If that doesn' do it, there's always extreme measures, like manual overclocking, BUT I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS, as it requires stuff like changing the temperature limit, under-volting, manual fan-speed control, etc. and if you have to ask, then you *really* need to not mess with it, because you can destroy your video card if you dont' know exactly what you're doing. Just update your driver, cool it better, and let the driver's built-in overclocking handle it.
Hope it helps.
