Graphics Settings

• The game supports borderless Windowed (called "Fullscreen"), Windowed and fullscreen (called "Exclusive Fullscreen")
• By default the game turns on DLSS, there's also support for IGTI, Intel XeSS and AMD FSR, we've disabled upscaling for all our testing
• Motion Blur defaults to enabled, it can be turned off
• V-Sync can be disabled, there's also a "Half Refresh Rate" option
• Anti-aliasing can be selected between "off," "SMAA," "TAA" and "DLAA." Please note that enabling DLSS will also enable "DLAA" as anti-aliasing, but I suspect it actually means "DLSS" and not "DLAA", which per definition is DLSS without upscaling.
• The "Upscale Sharpness" slider only works for FSR, not for DLSS or any other upscaler—weird
• On this screen you may also enable DLSS 3 Frame Generation, which automatically enables NVIDIA Reflex, too, as designed

• On the second screen there's a focus on graphics detail settings
• The "Preset" menu lets you select from the following profiles: "Very Low," "Low," "Medium," "High" and "Very High." Please note that "Very High" does not maximize the individual settings below.
• Distracting effects like Motion Blur can be disabled, just like Film Grain and an additional sharpening filter
• In terms of ray tracing you get ray traced reflections, which you can adjust between "High" and "Very High" (ray count)
• Ray traced shadows can be selected between "Off," "Medium," "High" and "Very High"
• Ray traced ambient occlusion can be selected between "Off," "Medium," "High" and "Very High"
• The RT section also has a slider "Object Range," which is controls how close objects have to be, before they are considered for ray tracing. In the Windows-based launcher, this is incorrectly linked to RTAO only, in-game it works correctly.

Test System

Benchmark scores in other reviews are only comparable when this exact same configuration is used.

We tested the public release version of R&C Rift Apart, not a press preview version. While NVIDIA and Intel have released game-ready drivers for the title, AMD still lacks such a release.
