The video by Panjino offers an extensive guide on optimizing Baldur's Gate 3 for the best FPS performance across a variety of systems, whether old, new, high-end, or low-end. Key techniques include enabling Windows Game Mode, adjusting GPU settings, and updating GPU drivers—especially for Nvidia users. Tools like MSI Afterburner and Riva Tuner Statistics Server are recommended for monitoring game performance.
The guide also provides specific settings for different hardware setups, covering AMD, Intel, and Nvidia products. Key adjustments involve setting the display adapter to the main GPU, using the monitor's native resolution, and configuring the highest refresh rate in fullscreen mode. The use of Nvidia DLSS for RTX GPUs or AMD FSR for compatible hardware is advised to boost FPS, with further tweaks to balance visual quality and performance.
Radeon GPU users are recommended to utilize FidelityFX sharpening, while Nvidia users can enhance image quality with deep learning anti-aliasing (DLAA). The video also suggests setting an FPS cap to ensure smoother gameplay and efficiency.
For advanced optimization, the video directs viewers to a companion guide that covers overclocking, undervolting, resizable bar, and BIOS options. It also advises experimenting with DirectX 11 and Vulkan settings to see which performs better on individual systems. The presenter encourages viewers to explore additional optimization resources linked in the description for more comprehensive tips.

In this part of the video, the creator explains how to optimize game settings across different hardware setups, including AMD, Intel, and Nvidia products. Key actions include setting the display adapter to the main GPU, setting the play monitor to the primary monitor, and configuring the resolution to the monitor’s native setting. The refresh rate should be set to the highest available, and display mode should typically be full screen for DirectX 11 or Vulcan titles, with Vsync turned off.
The video then demonstrates how to choose between two preset options—recommended settings and low graphics—and suggests copying these settings to see a potential FPS increase. The creator shows their own results, achieving a jump from 86 FPS to 110 FPS using optimized settings.
Next, the video tackles post-processing settings. For better performance, the creator advises using Nvidia DLSS or AMD FSR, depending on the GPU. For Nvidia RTX GPUs, DLSS should be set to Quality, while for non-DLSS compatible GPUs, FSR should be used. The creator illustrates how switching these settings can significantly boost FPS, suggesting toggling between quality and performance to find the best balance. Finally, the video offers guidance on prioritizing visual quality over performance by avoiding DLSS/FSR and optimizing other settings.

In this segment, the video discusses optimization settings for improving game visuals and performance. For users with Radeon GPUs, FidelityFX sharpening is recommended, and Nvidia users can utilize deep learning anti-aliasing (DLAA) to enhance image quality. The narrator emphasizes experimenting with settings that either favor performance or visuals and highlights the importance of balancing them for the best gaming experience. Additionally, the video suggests applying an FPS cap to achieve smoother gameplay, reduce power draw, and lower system temperature. The narrator personally opts for a DLSS balanced setup and an FPS cap matching the monitor’s refresh rate to ensure consistent and optimized performance.
