Graphics

Graphics Quality

Custom

We'll be tweaking individual graphics settings, so there is no need to use a predetermined graphical preset.

Resolution Scale

100%

Anything lower will drastically improve performance but degrade visual clarity.

Shadow Quality

Medium

One of the most taxing graphics settings. The medium preset does a decent job with shadows.

VFX Quality

High

Only affects the particle effects in the game.

Texture Quality

High

4GB VRAM: Medium, 6GB VRAM: High, 8GB+ VRAM: Epic

Reflection Quality

Medium

Another highly taxing graphical setting. Medium is a good sweet spot between performance and nice reflections on surfaces.

Post-Processing Quality

Epic

It does not impact performance much but adds drastically to the game's look and feel.

Anti-Aliasing Type

TAA

TSR looks the best, but it's the most costly option to go with. If you have the GPU power, go for it, otherwise, TAA does a great job of reducing jagged edges.

Anti-Aliasing Quality

High

There's not much performance difference between TAA Medium or High unless you're using TSR.

View Distance Quality

Far

Far does a great job of loading areas ahead of time, and avoiding texture pop-ins.

So, these were all the best PC settings for Poppy Playtime Chapter 4. The game does not have DLSS or FSR, but still runs relatively well, minus a few hiccups. Players with high-end GPUs can even crank the settings to max. However, a future performance patch is definitely needed to make Poppy Playtime Chapter 4 run well on a wide range of PCs.

After using the best settings above on a PC with an i7-11800H CPU, Nvidia RTX 3070 GPU, and 32GB RAM, the average FPS was around 70-85 with 1% lows hitting 55 FPS in certain areas.
