🎮 Enhancing Your Enshrouded Experience: The Best Settings, System Requirements, and Benchmarks Tested 🖥️

Veiled performance is impressive for a game at such an early stage of development, but it can be further enhanced by adjusting the settings. Here's how.

Guide to optimizing performance with ENBLE for enhanced gameplay and increased frame rates

Enshrouded has taken the gaming world by storm with its captivating gameplay and immersive open-world setting. Since its launch in January 2024, this Early Access game has already sold over a million copies. While it may not completely fill the Valheim-shaped hole in our hearts, it certainly offers an attractive, approachable, and exciting survival experience.

But hey, let’s get real for a moment. We all want the best performance possible, don’t we? Even those of you with top-tier gaming rigs might need to tweak some settings to ensure a smooth gameplay experience. Fear not, fellow gamers! I’m here to provide you with the ultimate guide on optimizing your Enshrouded settings for maximum visual appeal and seamless performance.

The Best Settings for Enshrouded 👌

Enshrouded boasts an impressive array of in-game settings, making it an ideal candidate for optimization. Let’s dive into the best settings that strike the perfect balance between stunning visuals and smooth performance, ensuring that you can enjoy the game without any hiccups.

Display mode: Fullscreen 🖥️

Choose the “Fullscreen” option to maximize performance and prevent accidental minimizing when playing on dual monitors. You wouldn’t want a momentary distraction ruining your exciting gameplay, would you?

Resolution: Native is the way to go! 🌟

Set your resolution to match your monitor’s native resolution to avoid any blurriness. We want those crisp, clear visuals to truly immerse us in the world of Enshrouded.

Resolution scale: A little adjustment goes a long way 📏

For the best visuals, keep the resolution scale at 100%. However, if you’re seeking a tiny performance boost without sacrificing too much visual quality, you can slightly lower it by a few percentage points.

VSync: Let your G-Sync or Freesync display do the job 🔄

Turn off VSync, especially if you have a G-Sync or Freesync display. These technologies excel at providing smooth frame rates without any screen tearing, rendering VSync unnecessary.

Limit frame rate in the background: Cool that GPU down! ❄️

Enable this option to let your GPU cool off when you alt-tab out of the game. It won’t affect how quickly the game starts again when you return. We want our GPUs to feel the breeze and stay nice and cool.

Anti-aliasing: DLSS or FSR, take your pick! 🎨

Choose DLSS if you have an Nvidia GPU or FSR for AMD/Intel GPUs. While FXAA is a viable option for any graphics card, using DLSS or FSR with their upscaling algorithms provides a performance boost while maintaining excellent visual quality.

FSR2/DLSS quality: Aim for the maximum 💯

If you’re not too concerned about a slight drop in visual quality, go for the “Max Quality” setting. Trust me, it’s hardly noticeable, but the significant boost in frames per second (fps) will make your gameplay experience much smoother.

Texture quality: Seek a balanced approach ⚖️

The “Balanced” texture quality offers a nice compromise between visual fidelity and performance. While the “Quality” setting does look nicer, the difference is often hard to notice in fast-paced gameplay.

Shadow quality: Achieve a perfect balance ☁️

Opt for the “Balanced” shadow quality setting. Unless you’re examining shadows up close, it won’t make a significant difference, but you’ll gain a few extra fps. We all love a couple of extra frames, don’t we?

Contact shadows: Let there be shadows! 👥

Keep this option turned on to enhance the game’s visuals and create a more immersive environment. Shadows make everything feel more realistic.

Indirect lighting: Time to find that balance ⚡

Choosing the “Balanced” option for indirect lighting strikes the right balance between visual quality and performance. We want that pleasing visual allure without sacrificing performance.

Reflections: Keep them balanced 🌅

Unless you find yourself in water-rich areas, the “Balanced” setting for reflections won’t make much of a difference visually. You can leave it at this setting without worrying about impacting your performance.

Fog quality: A lower setting does the trick 🌫️

Enshrouded, as the name implies, features quite a bit of fog. While it may not look great in the distance, it improves when you get up close. The fog quality setting doesn’t change dramatically, so it’s better to lower it a bit to boost performance.

Volumetric shadow quality: Strike that balance once more ☁️

Stick with the “Balanced” setting for volumetric shadow quality. Achieving a balance between visual flair and performance enhancements is key.

SSAO: Find that sweet spot ⚙️

Opt for the “Balanced” setting for Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO). It strikes the right balance between visual quality and performance impact.

Distance objects: Performance trumps pop-in 🏙️

Unless you despise even the slightest pop-in, opt for the “Balanced” setting for distance objects. The difference is barely noticeable, even at extreme distances, and it significantly improves performance.

Voxel detail models: Don’t turn it off! ✨

Keep this setting above “none” to maintain a visually appealing game with plenty of intricate detail on built objects. Turning it off is a surefire way to make everything look awful in comparison.

Small foliage: Quality wins! 🌾

Set the small foliage setting to “Quality” to ensure you can frolic through lush grass fronds to your heart’s content. Who doesn’t love the feeling of freedom when running through picturesque landscapes?

Tessellation: Strike that balance once more 🔺

The “Balanced” tessellation setting provides good detail while maintaining optimal performance. It’s all about finding that sweet spot.

Point light shadows: No performance concerns here! ☀️

Don’t worry about performance with this one. The default “Performance” setting will be just fine.

Enshrouded System Requirements: Are You Ready to Dive In? 💻

Now that we’ve optimized your settings, let’s take a moment to consider the system requirements for Enshrouded. While it may not boast cutting-edge visuals like some AAA games, it still manages to deliver a captivating experience without demanding top-of-the-line hardware.

Minimum system requirements 📋

Processor: Intel Core i5-6400, AMD Ryzen 5 1500X, or better
Memory: 16 GB
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB, AMD Radeon RX 580, or better
Storage: 60 GB

These requirements are relatively modest, with processors and graphics cards that have been around for almost a decade. With 16 GB of memory, Enshrouded can be enjoyed by the majority of Steam gamers. As long as you have a “gaming” PC released in the past five years, you should have no trouble running the game smoothly.

Recommended system requirements 📋

Processor: Intel i7-8700, AMD Ryzen 7 2700X, or better
Memory: 16 GB
Graphics: Nvidia RTX 2070 Super, AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT, or better
Storage: 60 GB available space

The recommended system requirements are slightly more demanding, but still well within reach for modern gaming PCs. While the processors are not the latest and greatest, they perform admirably and deliver a solid gaming experience. The graphics card options are more demanding, falling within the past two generations, but offer the potential for immersive gameplay. If you followed our recommended settings, your modern gaming PC will handle Enshrouded with ease.

Enshrouded Benchmarks Tested: Where Does Your Rig Stand? 💪

Curious about how Enshrouded performs under different settings? We conducted benchmarks in a beginner area of the game to assess frame rates and settings’ impact. Using a test system with high-end components, we can provide you with the insights you need to fine-tune your experience.

Test System Specifications: – CPU: AMD Ryzen 7950X3D – Motherboard: Asus Crosshair X670E Hero – Graphics Card: AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX – Memory: 32GB Kingston Fury Renegade 5200MHz

We tested Enshrouded at our recommended settings in both 1080p and 1440p resolutions. Additionally, we cranked everything up to the maximum settings at 1440p. Here are the average frame rates and frame time averages we recorded:

Settings	Average FPS	Average Frame Time
1080p recommended settings	103	9.8ms
1440p recommended settings	100	9.9ms
1440p max settings	92	10.9ms

As you can see, adjusting the settings in Enshrouded does make a modest difference in frame rates and frame times. While the impact may not be dramatic on high-end hardware, it becomes more significant on less powerful systems. Therefore, if you’re not playing on a flagship-grade gaming PC, be sure to adjust the settings to get the most out of your hardware.
