This was made with these system specs in mind:
Intel I7-10700k
Nvidia EVGA 3070ti FTW3
32G RAM - 3600MHz
NVME SSD
At 1080p with these modifications, the lowest I get is 50 FPS in a specific spot in Suoh. The average is 90 FPS.
For comparison, my average without any tweaks is around 140 FPS.
Unreal Engine 4 has a lot of features that can be amounted to personal taste, such as Lens Flare, Motion Blur, Bloom, and the Anti-Aliasing Technique. The included Guide file gives a list of every setting changed, the default value for Unreal Engine 4, and a brief description of what each setting does.
This mod also includes a ConsoleHelp.html file that was generated using a custom version of Unreal Engine 4.25. Which mimics the exact version the developers for Scarlet Nexus used. It includes way more settings then what I modified.
A list of the most important changes:
Reduced TAA's ghosting, increased brightness of lights and fixed distant objects flickering when standing still.
Enabled Bloom, Godrays, and improved their quality.
Disabled vsync and other related frame time settings - on my system, this reduced stuttering.
Enabled Screen Space Global Illumination and improved the quality of many other effects (DoF, LOD, Reflections, Shadows, Fog, Ambient Occlusion, and more)
