|
Resolution Scale |

Anything lower will drastically improve performance but degrade visual clarity. |

Shadow Quality |
Medium |
One of the most taxing graphics settings. The medium preset does a decent job with shadows. |

High |
4GB VRAM: Medium, 6GB VRAM: High, 8GB+ VRAM: Epic |

|
|
Post-Processing Quality |
Epic |
It does not impact performance much but adds drastically to the game’s look and feel. |
|
|
Anti-Aliasing Type |
TAA |
TSR looks the best, but it’s the most costly option to go with. If you have the GPU power, go for it, otherwise, TAA does a great job of reducing jagged edges. |
|
|
Anti-Aliasing Quality |
High |
There’s not much performance difference between TAA Medium or High unless you’re using TSR. |
|
|
View Distance Quality |
Far |
Far does a great job of loading areas ahead of time, and avoiding texture pop-ins. |
So, these were all the best PC settings for Poppy Playtime Chapter 4. The game does not have DLSS or FSR, but still runs relatively well, minus a few hiccups. Players with high-end GPUs can even crank the settings to max. However, a future performance patch is definitely needed to make Poppy Playtime Chapter 4 run well on a wide range of PCs.
After using the best settings above on a PC with an i7-11800H CPU, Nvidia RTX 3070 GPU, and 32GB RAM, the average FPS was around 70-85 with 1% lows hitting 55 FPS in certain areas.
