I think we need more graphic degradation for a handheld mode for better performance on 460mhz
maybe you can try disable SSR, lower texture quality (vanilla quality), shadow quality (lower is 0 - which seem doesn't disable shadow but decrease shadow draw distance)... The one thing that improved image quality the most is SSAO so I dont recommend disabling it

Upload the lower config:
-Texture Quality=1
-SSR=0
-Bloom OFF
-MaxAnisotropy=4 (x8 in my default config)
-StaticMeshLODDistanceScale=1.0 (1.5 in default config, 2.0 in docked mode)

Lowest config: Like above plus:
-MinDynamic Res=50% (55% in other configs)
-DOF OFF
-Effects Quality=0
-Foliage Quality 0

2020061622282800-1BD3CFAB1BD3FF0CA4B85344319D6C52.jpg

I decided not to set PostProcessQuality=0 in lowest config (as result is in the screenshot there), and with ShadowQuality=0 the shadow draw distance is so low that the spaceship there will have no shadow

Edit: I just discovered that lower StaticMeshLODDistanceScale mean higher quality (higher value will switch lod faster, shorter distance) xD

You can delete folders Program and save from engine folder cause it is not need it.
And why you don't use r.SSS.Scale= that was in original config?
Anddid you try to play with this settings?
foliage.MinOcclusionQueriesPerComponent=2
MaterialBaking.UseMaterialProxyCaching=1
CoverGrass.FadeDepthRange=20
CoverGrass.FadeMinAlpha=0.2
FX.ParticleSystemPool.Enable=0
Ak.DisableRoomComponents=0
Ak.DisableReverbComponents=0
Ak.DisablePortals=0

I considered disabling SSR but with the water reflections and metal everywhere it's a huge improvement to the alternative IMO. I didn't have time to look into shadow rendering much, but shadow quality, particle counts and foliage can be reduced for performance; one you see infrequently and the other doesn't ever really improve. It's not adding neon grass you can hide in, just some clumps of weeds.

Right now using the file @Huy98vn generously uploaded on pg 19 (Ty!), the first one mentioned-with the improved aliasing. So far looks good and runs well handheld and dock, with just below max oc which is my preference. Now if we could just find a way to get those glitchy skyboxes without resorting to xpass. Thanks for all the quality work Huy98vn, you're an asset to the community

SSR mostly affect the water ponds on the ground (which is still ugly with SSR=1 or 2) as I experienced so far.
Btw you should down the default config on this page (or at lower end of page 19) which was improved texture filtering

I've never seen the original config and I also don't understand/learn the in-depth of the engine and those graphics settings like you mentioned here too. What I did is searching on google to know about some settings xD

This commands are from DefaultDeviceProfiles.ini

Wow, that is not a small difference. The "before" image looks like N64 graphics by comparison. Everything just looks more dead, all the detail and life is gone. I've only played it on PC and that's probably still the best way to experience it. And the Switch of course has the benefit of being a handheld you can take anywhere and play on the go, and I'm willing to put up with somewhat worse graphics and worse framerates for that, but I think too many sacrifices were made here in order to keep framerates good passable. Nintendo should just enable higher clock speeds on a game by game basis as long as temperatures are kept in check, they've already enabled overclocking in bursts so why not.

Can yo do that on witcher 3? I really hope someone make improve that game to run in 720p or Disable dynamic resolution without use OC :'(
I can't do anything about TW3... Panic Button already did a very good job, especially after the patch that add sharpening and antialiasing setting (although I would like some AA like SMAA or FXAA instead just enable/disable TAA)

Here's my config based on vanilla ver with these addtional settings:
-Enable SSAO
-Enable DOF
-Improved AA quality and image sharpness
-Change texture filtering to anisotropy (based on PS4 ver in DefaultDeviceProfiles.ini) and MaxAnisotropy=4
-Adjust dynamic resolutions (docked mode lowest is 60%=1152x648, handheld lowest is 60%=768x432)
-Disabled lens flare (It's known for causing light flickering issues)
-SSR is enabled as vanilla ver

-Increase ViewDistanceQuality, ShadowQuality, TextureQuality, FoliageQuality for Docked ver

I don't have time to test the performance yet, so you guy can try it out and tell me
