Shroud claims gamers who prioritize PC graphics over performance are \u201cdoing it wrong\u201d Twitch: ShroudMichael \u2018Shroud\u2019 Grzesiek never hesitates to lower a game\u2019s graphics settings to maximize performance, and he claims those who don\u2019t are \u201cdoing it wrong\u201d regardless of how powerful their rig is. It\u2019s a well-known fact that competitive gamers like Shroud lower their graphics settings to boost performance. And while some gamers like to bask in the realism of the games they play, he isn\u2019t one of them. However, he doubled down on his views during a recent stream. He claimed that gamers who prioritize graphics over performance and refuse to lower \u201cunnecessary\u201d settings are \u201cdoing it wrong\u201d and will end up having a \u201cbad time.\u201d \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter what machine you have,\u201d he said. \u201cIf you\u2019re not putting stuff on low that is unnecessary, like this sh*t\u2026 post-processing, shadows, foliage [and] effects, [you\u2019re doing it wrong].\u201d And that\u2019s coming from someone who has an insane gaming rig. \u201cI don\u2019t think you guys realize the performance difference no matter the machine you have. If you\u2019re not tweaking your graphics settings in any video game, you are doing it wrong. It doesn\u2019t matter what you have.\u201d Shroud has a GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card and a Ryzen 9 5950X processor worth roughly $3,000, but he won\u2019t hesitate to lower settings for performance. \u201cIf you\u2019re not tweaking it, you\u2019re going to have a bad time.\u201d Of course, to each their own. Not everyone cares enough about squeezing every last drop of performance out of their set-up. However, the benefits of having higher frames per second on games like Apex Legends and Warzone are well-documented. And the best way to increase it is to lower your settings, regardless of how good your rig is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
