- Changed VRAM budgets to allow for more video memory usage.
- Reduced flicker in ray-traced reflections when DLSS or DLAA is enabled.

Get in you beauty!
Seems @yamaci17 was onto something. Nixxes just released a patch for Spider-Man and of note they state this:
- Changed VRAM budgets to allow for more video memory usage.
Well done sir!
I'm willing to bet you've had some part to play in that with your in-depth analysis
Great job!Well, I sent them a lot of reports, that's for sure. Also made a buzz on all kinds of platforms. Let's hope other developers do not repeat the same mistake... Budget is already severely limited as is. I'm also happy that they fixed cloth mesh LOD scaling bug that happened below 4K.I'm willing to bet you've had some part to play in that with your in-depth analysis

Can you verify these issues indeed are fixed?

Nixxes released a new update for the PC version of Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered that adds support for AMD's FSR 2.1 and Intel's XeSS.
There's also this one:
- Made changes to address performance degradation when raytracing is enabled.
Sounds promising. Hopefully another round of benchmarks to come.
Would just like to add that this is yet another example of how attributing a game's performance issues by default to the game not running on PS5 is unwise.
Has to be that CPU load when RT is enabled.
I believe it has more to do with VRAM filling up and degradating performance over time.
One would wonder why they describe the improvements like that then:
- Changed VRAM budgets to allow for more video memory usage.
- Made changes to address performance degradation when raytracing is enabled.

Yes but for the love of all that is holy no 2700x next time round.

We'll see with numbers and I bet there's still more work coming in this area, but that specifically is referring to an issue where performance would degrade over a long play session, not necessarily RT performance as a whole.
I just want to add that Nixxes are so damn good when it comes to listening to feedback and acting on issues.
It seems to me like the game came in a little hot, but their post launch support is always top tier. They very clearly communicate what they are working on and continually interact with the players.
It's that type of attitude that has always made me want to support them as a studio. What an awesome get for Sony. Literally the best studio I can think of to bring games over to PC. Just a ton of technical talent in that studio.
I really wonder what comes next for Nixxes after Miles Morales. I wonder if they will stick close to Insomniac and maybe do Ratchet.. or if they'll branch out to do other projects?

BTW there were a suite of patches just released for Resident Evil 2/3/7, fixing a bunch of bugs the RT version introduced. From RE7's patch notes:
Can confirm that HBAO+ and the image quality setting (res scaling) are now finally working, so great.
However the bolded is what I was most interested in, as @Dictator noted in DF's video on these releases, the TAA on PC has been broken in ReEngine games for a while. Unfortunately in testing with RE7 at least...no change that I can see. Still more specular aliasing than the PS5, and Interlaced still has basically no AA to speak of when looking at Mia's hair at certain distances. Crap.

That's a lot of stuff that wasn't functioning properly... lol

Almost 4 months for "Hey those graphics options do the things they did in the old version now".
