Its also for switch :) i post a picture of emulator cause on switch is just message like "game stop to work" I already made upscale cutscene and fmv for switch it work like charm but for xenoblade chronicles 3 not :'(
Correct me if im wrong but This thread title is "Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Graphics Settings", it doesnt say in any part its exclusive graphic options for the switch or emulator, as long as it improves graphics it could belong here...i guess? (not sure)
anyways, maybe it would be better in its own thread but idk.

It has its own thread already.
Beside upscaling video is not improving graphics of game.
It's just "improving" (depends on who you ask) videos which are in their own bubble separated from 3d rendering.

You sure red_AtRate means GPU usage? I was thinking this defines how much it can jump between resolutions for each frame to smooth out resolution changes (0.99 meaning one frame cannot differ from previous frame more than 1% in terms of pixel count)

Unfortunately I am Not sure. I just observed that with lower at rate, it goes to the lower resolution much more often than higher at rate. Go low enough with at rate, and the game got confused and it keeps switching back and forth between lower and higher resolution

Are you still keeping version 1.1? I updated with the new one and I get the impression that with 1.1 the game looks better quality. Thank you so much for your work!
You can get it from the older post in the archived thread :)

This doesn't output true 4K. It's upscaling from max 1080p through sophisticated interpolation method because Switch operating system doesn't support more than 1080p tv output.
So your video would go through this process:

1440p -downscaling> 1080p -upscaling> 4K

So there won't be any profit from running your videos on Switch.
i think you misunderstood the thing

your right on the way "1440p -downscaling> 1080p -upscaling> 4K"

but what iam talking about its internal AI upscale resolution.

so yes switch can't run 1440p video, and if they can no benefit at all we are ok on this.

but : xc3 doesnt allow you to use another resolution than 720p, for example ff x remaster or even ff 8 remaster my fmv ai upscale pack in AI 4k for switch run and work on switch at 1080p and its wonderfull.

here the final and working result by upscaling the intro to 4k with AI and 720p out https://drive.google.com/file/d/11XowTDZOK1vSdG3JK0-uXAdZgwnWrxyg/view

rename it to mv01005100.webm and put on your atmosphere\contents\010074F013262000\romfs\movie you will clearly see an huge diffence btw original and mine upscale on both handled and docked mod ;)

but what I really try an ask is : can i "bruteforce" to 1080P with some files setup like the libnx.bin I know its not this file, i'am absolutly not a modder, just a guy who try to upgrade pre render custscene in switch game.

lib_nx is not responsible for video and window resolution in any form. This is a job for exefs patch and main reverse engineering.
thanks for this, but it beyond my knowledge I think, btw 720 look good but try to find this little things that can improve to the max, also video I send you is too heavy bitrate for switch I think ( I upload the bad file I have know 1254165 version of this file on my computer due to test, maybe result to black screen xD) but works well with lower bitrate mmaybe 90mb here

edit : i test the file, we see nintendo and monolith soft logo, see subtitle but no cutscene :rofl2::rofl::rofl2::rofl: but everything is one the same file :rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2:(except sound and subtitle off course) it also can be the 30.00068 fps I dont know what premier pro did during mp4 to webm encoding on this specific file lol

In the end i'm back to shinraikdo setting. That was highest & cleanest graphics setting i tried in many posting. Didnt care about some fps drop. Which is barely noticed in this typical gameplay.

people are different. @ucupetuks is simply the type of person that is unable to notice frame drops in XC3.
Yes i'm ok with some fps drop in large enemy battle(except playing fps game/fast camera movement game. Will causr motionsickness). But got love fps drop in xenoblade 2 which is slow down rather than frame skipping. Which is i hated frame skipping that was fake high fps

if you can't tell the difference between 30fps and 20fps you have issues. thats not "barely noticeable" more like feels sluggish

tell that to people that play console games on TV without gaming mode (some even with motion interpolation enabled). super sluggish. but they are fine with it.

my point is that people are different. let people enjoy what they enjoy.

thats the blessing of this graphics mod by masagrator. so each people can tailor the game to their preferences.

on the old thread, there's even someone very glad with locking XC3 at 20fps. as they prefer 720p locked all the time, and ok with 20fps.

I will link here my preset, to not lose it in the closed thread and whoever wants to use it does not lose sight of it.

https://gbatemp.net/threads/archived-xenoblade-chronicles-3-graphics-settings.615901/post-9891927

Updated presets with IPS patch for 1.1.0 update.

Updated presets to v1.1

Updated presets to v1.2 (final update).


NOTE: Since this is the final update, I'll not support the preset anymore, if in the future we receive a patch for the game, you only need to add new IPS file from OP Masagrator post to get working the mod again.

Introduction

All presets have mostly the same settings, the only changes between one and the other is ColReduction (false for emulator), resolution scaling and antialiasing sharpness.

To avoid comments out of context or destructive criticism as has happened before with a certain user: I share these presets for personal taste and for whoever wants to enjoy them, at no time do I specify that they are the best they will find or that my settings are the only valid ones. They are adjustments made from my personal experience, arranged to my liking and optimized to the level that Nintendo Switch can support.

These are the general JSON settings, whoever wants to edit it for their own benefit or research is free to do so.


Common features:
- Better shadows with greater distance and quality
- Antialiasing revamped, now more efficient, ported from my older XC1 and XC2 settings.
- Better resolution with their respective improvements in the LOD, terrain and vegetation (they are linked to the internal resolution of the game)
- Slightly tweaked colours in bloom, shadows and clouds for better environment
- Performance mostly reach 30 FPS in larger areas, battles and cutscenes if you overclock CPU/GPU/RAM to:


Installation (WITHOUT DLCs):
- Unzip and drop Atmosphere folder in the MicroSD root for Switch.
- Unzip and drop romfs folder in "...\AppData\Roaming\yuzu\load\010074F013262000\Config", create "exefs" folder and drop .ips file in "...\AppData\Roaming\yuzu\load\010074F013262000\Config" for Yuzu
- Unzip and drop contents and exefs_patches folders in "...\AppData\Roaming\Ryujinx\mods" for Ryujinx

Comparison screenshot (Vanilla vs Portable Preset v1.2):

I hope you enjoy it :grog:
I'm using this docked config with recommended OC
I get 20fps on battle tho especially on large area battles

I hope someone can share a docked config with stable 30fps but with a lil' bit of graphical enhancement

Try with 1.2, has lower blur effect and the battles runs better.
