Check the loadout screen before spending more materials. This excerpt explains how upgrades contribute to the displayed build and shows where to inspect your active effects.
The clip predates Update 1.4.0, which adds Build Power directly to the bottom left of Loadout. Use the current menu for that value.

BenchmarKing’s settings table is a useful starting point when you want to compare individual options. It is a creator recommendation, not an official preset or a measured result for your PC. The recording’s exact game build is not established.
Record your GPU, VRAM, driver, resolution, upscaler and current game version before comparing results.
Choose one option to adjust, then compare the same scene. The table recommends Low or Medium textures specifically for 8 GB GPUs; do not read that as a requirement for every card.
If changing ray-tracing quality still causes the historical FPS drop, try Remedy’s restart workaround. Later 1.4.0 notes address crashes when toggling RT modes; that is a separate symptom.
If the same scene becomes less stable or loses too much detail, restore the previous value before testing another option.
