11 Overview

33 Neverness to Everness is built on Unreal Engine 5 and features advanced rendering technology on PC, including full ray tracing, path tracing, and NVIDIA DLSS 4 support. The graphics settings menu offers players fine-grained control over visual quality and performance, accessible through the Settings menu by pressing Escape and selecting the Graphics tab.

55 Ray Tracing and Path Tracing

77 The game supports full ray tracing and path tracing on PC. Path tracing enhances lighting, reflections, and shadows by tracing the path of light rays through the scene, producing more physically accurate visuals than traditional rasterized rendering. This is particularly noticeable in Hethereau's urban environments, where reflective surfaces like glass buildings, wet streets, and vehicle bodywork benefit from accurate real-time reflections.

1010 Ray tracing was showcased as early as Gamescom 2024, where Hotta Studio demonstrated full ray tracing during the Hethereau trailer. The path tracing implementation builds on this foundation, offering the highest-fidelity lighting mode available in the game.

1212 NVIDIA DLSS 4 and Multi-Frame Generation

1313

1414 Neverness to Everness supports NVIDIA DLSS 4 with Multi-Frame Generation on PC. DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) uses AI to upscale lower-resolution frames to the target resolution, significantly boosting frame rates while maintaining visual quality. The Multi-Frame Generation feature, new to DLSS 4, generates multiple interpolated frames per rendered frame for even higher perceived smoothness.

1515

1616 DLSS Frame Generation requires an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40-series GPU and "Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling" must be enabled in Windows settings. If players with a 40-series card experience frequent crashes, the official PC Setup Guide recommends turning Frame Generation off in the Graphics settings as a troubleshooting step.

1818 NVIDIA Reflex

1919

2020 NVIDIA Reflex support was announced alongside DLSS integration in July 2024. Reflex reduces system latency by synchronizing the CPU and GPU, resulting in more responsive input. This is particularly beneficial during fast-paced combat encounters where input timing matters for dodging, parrying, and chaining abilities.

2222 Upscaling Options

2323

2424 The graphics menu includes upscaling settings with multiple quality modes. Players who are experiencing lower frame rates can set upscaling to Performance mode, which renders at a lower internal resolution and uses DLSS to reconstruct the image. The available upscaling presets offer a range from Quality (highest internal resolution) to Performance (lowest internal resolution, highest FPS gain).

2727 Quality Presets and Individual Settings

2828

2929 The graphics menu provides overall quality presets that adjust multiple settings simultaneously. Players can select a preset as a starting point and then fine-tune individual options to match their hardware. The available presets are:

3030

3131 PresetTarget AudienceDescriptionLowMinimum-spec hardware, older GPUsReduced draw distance, simplified shadows, lower texture resolution.

3434 VSync and Frame Rate Limits

3535

3636 The graphics menu includes a VSync toggle and configurable frame rate limit. VSync synchronizes the game's frame output with the monitor's refresh rate to eliminate screen tearing, but it can introduce minor input lag. Players who prefer minimal latency, especially during fast-paced combat encounters, may want to leave VSync off and rely on the frame rate limiter instead.

3737

3838 The frame rate limit can be set to common targets such as 30, 60, 120, or unlocked. Running at an unlocked frame rate is viable on high-end hardware, but it increases power consumption and heat output. For most players, 60 FPS with VSync off provides a good balance of smoothness and responsiveness. Players with high-refresh-rate monitors (144 Hz or 240 Hz) can set the limit to 120 or leave it unlocked for the smoothest experience.

4141 DLSS 5 and Future Upscaling

4242

4343 NVIDIA has announced that Neverness to Everness is among the titles slated for DLSS 5 support. DLSS 5 introduces further AI-driven improvements to upscaling quality and frame generation, building on the DLSS 4 Multi-Frame Generation already available in the game. For players with supported hardware (RTX 50-series GPUs), DLSS 5 is expected to deliver even sharper image reconstruction and higher frame rates than the current implementation.

4444

4545 The existing DLSS 4 pipeline already provides substantial performance gains. Enabling DLSS upscaling in Performance mode on an RTX 3060 can roughly double the effective frame rate compared to native resolution rendering at the same visual quality tier. DLSS 5 should extend this advantage further on next-generation hardware.

5252 For players with an NVIDIA RTX 40-series GPU, enabling Frame Generation can provide a significant FPS boost on top of these recommendations. Keep in mind that Frame Generation requires Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling to be enabled in Windows settings. On Windows 11, this is enabled by default; on Windows 10, it must be turned on manually through the Windows Graphics Settings panel.

7070 Hotta Studio has partnered with MediaTek to optimize performance on Dimensity chipsets. This collaboration focuses on MediaTek's Dimensity Frame Rate Converter (MFRC) technology, which interpolates frames to improve smoothness while reducing power consumption by up to 40% in CPU-limited scenarios. The partnership also addresses thermal throttling to maintain sustained performance during long play sessions.

7171

7272 Mobile storage requirements are approximately 20 GB. Players on older devices should lower the quality preset and resolution scale to maintain playable frame rates. Closing background applications and ensuring the device is not overheating will also help with performance stability.

7373

7474 Dolby Atmos Support

7575

7676 In addition to visual settings, Neverness to Everness supports Dolby Atmos spatial audio. This feature is accessible through the audio settings rather than the graphics menu, but it is worth noting alongside the visual options because it contributes to the overall presentation quality. Dolby Atmos provides three-dimensional audio positioning, making it easier to locate anomaly enemies and environmental sounds during exploration. Headphones or a Dolby Atmos-enabled speaker system are recommended to take full advantage of this feature.
