Game dev shows how to do a PC port right, outlines 106 to 314 FPS improvement without frame generation | Tom’s Hardware

Durante, the Chief Technology Officer at PH3 Games, optimized a scene from Ys X: Nordics, increasing its performance from 106 FPS to 314 FPS through four rounds of optimization. His previous work includes creating "DSfix" for Dark Souls, which unlocked a 60 FPS cap. The optimization focused on a CPU-intensive scene on Balta Island, addressing DirectX 11 memory management issues early in the process. Key improvements included removing a console optimization that limited animation FPS of distant characters. The FPS increased from 106 to 181 in version 0.2, then to 231 in version 0.8, and finally reached 314 FPS after further updates. A free demo of Ys X: Nordics is available on all platforms, and game reviews indicate a highly performant experience.
