This dude is insane at texturing
…and awful at picking fonts lol

>High quality manual work, no upscaling nonsense

He stopped doing manual upscales for the vast majority of textures almost 3 years ago. He uses ESRGAN with publicly available custom AI models trained on game textures specifically.
This is the kind of high quality AI upscaling you can get if you know what you’re doing and you’re not lazy about it.

I should’ve been more clear, “So what’s the point/advantage of using DX12 instead of DX11 IN THIS GAME”. Because I already know what DX12 is and how it works. But thanks anyways for the clarification, can always learn something new. With that said, then why is DX12 so sh*t in just about every damn game and especially this one. Because the DX11 WAS clearly more opportunities and stable in update 1.31. As of right now, this game is a mess and the whole Raytracing doesn’t provide enough juice to worth its squeeze. I think I’m going back to DX11 TONIGHT!.

The nextgen update of TW3 introduces Raytracing effects. It DOES look better with proper reflections and shadows etc but the performance hit is too great, plus changing APIs from DX11 to DX12 needs A LOT of optimizations to make it work properly and this doesn’t seem to be the case here. The game (DX12) suffers from massive amounts of stutter, crashes and could only be playable with a 4090 and DLSS3 with frame generation.

I have this off but it’s not that. The game has many bugs, it’s not as stable as it was.

DX12 has Raytracing añd other effects and many more optimisations. It’s a better API as it’s closer to the metal (it’s an API that works at a lower level so less software “translations” taking place).

I think CDPR introduced an “alternate movement” setting that changed the style somehow — if I remember right it made it feel weightier, something like the Euphoria engine in newer Rockstar games, but I could be wrong. It might be worth toggling that if you haven’t tried it.

Couldn’t disagree more.

So what’s the point/advantage of using DX12 instead of DX11? Can anyone clear this up please?..

Oh God I have to hit quick save every minute now. Sadness I tell ya
