Just published a PC perf analysis & tuning guide for Remedy's CONTROL Resonant. Overall, I liked the game's technical aspect, though I did have a few pain points with it that I mentioned in the article. Hope people like it & find it useful! wccftech.com/how-to/control-…

Note for clarification none of these progress shots are with DLSS-5(NR). If it is used I will specifically indicate it was used rather than indicate "No-DLSS5" in every post I make

DS3LE-PT In motion Cruxifixon woods. DS3LE volumetrics and path tracing add so much depth to scene here. Very happy with testing , super optimistic of release in few months. I also enable/disable DLSS-5 to show comparision to show what it actually adds to scene as well

DLSS-NR is done pre-upscaling and natively. It costs around 3ms at 960p on RTX 5080. This is the pipeline PT->NRD->Tonemap->DLSS-NR->InvTonemap->DLSS-SR. As the image is denoised before NR this can be done, for RR the DLSS-NR has to be run at 1440p(Display resolution)

DLSS-5 NR Integration in DS3LE-PT. This is continuation of integration work in DS2. Comparisions are of PT vs PT + DLSS-5

First custom Demon's Souls PS5 Remake model and texture import, featuring my Megabonk model of @/SanagiYuzu. Being able to emulate this made it MUCH easier to test things and finally make modding this game a reality. Tool and usage guide can be found below

DLSS-5(NR) Integration WIP in DS2. I am also using the excellent Faraam preset from Beubeu here. PT is enabled in both cases. NR is done pre-upscale. Costs around 4-5ms on RTX 5080 at 960p. Reinhard Tonemap(Basic)->DLSS - NR->InverseTonemap->DLSS-SR

Alright so Demon's Souls PS5 Remake is emulating now. It's slow even on a 5090 with 9950X3D, but it goes at about 2-3 FPS when it doesn't seem to be loading assets. I got as far as the small steps in the later tunnel before it crashed.

DS3 has lot of LODS for every mesh. In LE I can add the base LOD to the BVH, as LE doesn't know when the LOD is actually swapped in main view, this will create self-intersection issues, however added a feature to detect these cases and path tracer will do a stronger ray bias

Abysswatchers Intro cutscene. I love that all fromsoft games render cutscenes in real-time. Pathtracing and updated DOF in LE adds almost cinema level of lighting
