1: AO affects the stat lighting
r.AMDD3D11MultiThreadedDevice If true, creates a multithreaded D3D11 device on AMD
hardware (workaround for driver bug)
Changes will only take effect in new game/editor instances - can't be changed at
runtime.

AMD hardware (workaround for driver bug)
Changes will only take effect in new game/editor instances - can't be changed at
runtime.

OpenGL driver supports it. (Android Only)
0 = ASTC texture compression will be used if driver supports it [default]
1 = ASTC texture compression will not be used.
r.Android.DisableOpenGLES31Support Disable support for OpenGLES 3.1 API. (Android
Only)
0 = OpenGLES 3.1 API will be used (providing device and project supports it)
[default]
1 = OpenGLES 3.1 will be disabled, Vulkan will be used.
r.Android.DisableVulkanSM5Support Disable support for vulkan API. (Android Only)
0 = Vulkan SM5 API will be used (providing device and project supports it)

OpenGLES API. (Android Only)
0 = normal detection used [default]
1 = disable external texture support
2 = force ImageExternal100 (version #100 with GL_OES_EGL_image_external)
3 = force ImageExternal300 (version #300 with GL_OES_EGL_image_external)
4 = force ImageExternalESSL300 (version #300 with GL_OES_EGL_image_external_essl3)

static indirect sources (lightmaps + stationary skylight + reflection captures)
r.AOAsyncBuildQueue Whether to asynchronously build distance field volume data
from meshes.
r.AOAverageObjectsPerCullTile Determines how much memory should be allocated in
distance field object culling data structures. Too much = memory waste, too little
= flickering due to buffer overflow.
r.AOClearHistory
r.AOComputeShaderNormalCalculation Whether to use the compute shader version of
the distance field normal computation.
r.AOGlobalDFClipmapDistanceExponent Exponent used to derive each clipmap's size,
together with r.AOInnerGlobalDFClipmapDistance.
r.AOGlobalDFResolution Resolution of the global distance field. Higher values
increase fidelity but also increase memory and composition cost.
r.AOGlobalDFStartDistance World space distance along a cone trace to switch to
using the global distance field instead of the object distance fields.
This has to be large enough to hide the low res nature of the global distance
field, but smaller values result in faster cone tracing.
r.AOGlobalDistanceField Whether to use a global distance field to optimize
occlusion cone traces.
The global distance field is created by compositing object distance fields into
clipmaps as the viewer moves through the level.
r.AOGlobalDistanceFieldCacheMostlyStaticSeparately Whether to cache mostly
static primitives separately from movable primitives, which reduces global DF
update cost when a movable primitive is modified. Adds another 12Mb of volume
textures.
r.AOGlobalDistanceFieldForceFullUpdate Whether to force full global distance
field update every frame.
r.AOGlobalDistanceFieldLogModifiedPrimitives Whether to log primitive
modifications (add, remove, updatetransform) that caused an update of the global
distance field.
This can be useful for tracking down why updating the global distance field is
always costing a lot, since it should be mostly cached.
r.AOGlobalDistanceFieldPartialUpdates Whether to allow partial updates of the
global distance field. When profiling it's useful to disable this and get the worst
case composition time that happens on camera cuts.
r.AOGlobalDistanceFieldRepresentHeightfields Whether to put landscape in the
global distance field. Changing this won't propagate until the global distance
field gets recached (fly away and back).
r.AOGlobalDistanceFieldStaggeredUpdates Whether to allow the larger clipmaps to
be updated less frequently.
r.AOHeightfieldOcclusion Whether to compute AO from heightfields (landscape)
r.AOHistoryDistanceThreshold World space distance threshold needed to discard last
frame's DFAO results. Lower values reduce ghosting from characters when near a wall
but increase flickering artifacts.
r.AOHistoryStabilityPass Whether to gather stable results to fill in holes in
the temporal reprojection. Adds some GPU cost but improves temporal stability with
foliage.
r.AOHistoryWeight Amount of last frame's AO to lerp into the final result. Higher
values increase stability, lower values have less streaking under occluder
movement.
r.AOJitterConeDirections
r.AOListMemory
r.AOListMeshDistanceFields

r.AOMaxObjectBoundingRadius Objects larger than this will not contribute to AO
calculations, to improve performance.

r.AOObjectDistanceField Determines whether object distance fields are used to
compute ambient occlusion.
Only global distance field will be used when this option is disabled.
r.AOOverwriteSceneColor
r.AOQuality Defines the distance field AO method which allows to adjust for quality
or performance.
0:off, 1:medium, 2:high (default)
r.AOSampleSet 0 = Original set, 1 = Relaxed set
r.AOScatterTileCulling Whether to use the rasterizer for binning occluder objects
into screenspace tiles.
r.AOSpecularOcclusionMode Determines how specular should be occluded by DFAO
0: Apply non-directional AO to specular.
1: (default) Intersect the reflection cone with the unoccluded cone produced by
DFAO. This gives more accurate occlusion than 0, but can bring out DFAO sampling
artifacts.
r.AOStepExponentScale Exponent used to distribute AO samples along a cone
direction.
r.AOUpdateGlobalDistanceField Whether to update the global distance field, useful
for debugging.
r.AOUseHistory Whether to apply a temporal filter to the distance field AO,
which reduces flickering but also adds trails when occluders are moving.
r.AOUseJitter Whether to use 4x temporal supersampling with Screen Grid DFAO.
When jitter is disabled, a shorter history can be used but there will be more
spatial aliasing.
r.AOViewFadeDistanceScale Distance over which AO will fade out as it approaches
r.AOMaxViewDistance, as a fraction of r.AOMaxViewDistance.
r.AsyncCreateLightPrimitiveInteractions Whether to create LPIs asynchronously.
r.AsyncPipelineCompile 0 to Create PSOs at the moment they are requested
1 to Create Pipeline State Objects asynchronously(default)
r.Atmosphere Defines atmosphere will render or not. Only changed by
r.Atmosphere console command.
Enable/Disable Atmosphere, Load/Unload related data.
0: off (To save GPU memory)
1: on (default)
r.BasePassForceOutputsVelocity Force the base pass to compute motion vector,
regardless of FPrimitiveUniformShaderParameters.0: Disabled (default)1: Enabled
r.BasePassOutputsVelocity Enables rendering WPO velocities on the base pass.
0: Renders in a separate pass/rendertarget, all movable static meshes + dynamic.
1: Renders during the regular base pass adding an extra GBuffer, but allowing
motion blur on materials with Time-based WPO.
r.BasePassWriteDepthEvenWithFullPrepass 0 to allow a readonly base pass, which
skips an MSAA depth resolve, and allows masked materials to get EarlyZ (writing to
depth while doing clip() disables EarlyZ) (default)
1 to force depth writes in the base pass. Useful for debugging when the prepass and
base pass don't match what they render.
r.bFlushRenderTargetsOnWorldCleanup
r.BlackBorders To draw black borders around the rendered image
(prevents artifacts from post processing passes that read outside of the image e.g.
PostProcessAA)
in pixels, 0:off
r.Bloom.Cross Experimental feature to give bloom kernel a more bright center
sample (values between 1 and 3 work without causing aliasing)

<0 for a anisomorphic lens flare look (X only)
0 off (default)
>0 for a cross look (X and Y)

r.Cache.DrawDirectionalShadowing Whether to draw direct shadowing sample points
as generated by Lightmass.
0 is off (default), 1 is on
r.Cache.DrawInterpolationPoints Whether to draw positions that indirect
lighting is interpolated at when they are updated, which are stored in the cache.

will flicker as they update.
0 is off (default), 1 is on
r.Cache.DrawLightingSamples Whether to draw indirect lighting sample points as
generated by Lightmass.
0 is off (default), 1 is on
r.Cache.LightingCacheDimension Dimensions of the lighting cache. This should
be a multiple of r.LightingCacheMovableObjectAllocationSize for least waste.
r.Cache.LightingCacheMovableObjectAllocationSize Resolution of the
interpolation sample volume used to light a dynamic object.
Values of 1 or 2 will result in a single interpolation sample per object which does
not provide continuous lighting under movement, so interpolation is done over time.
Values of 3 or more support the necessary padding to provide continuous results
under movement.
r.Cache.LimitQuerySize 0 is off, 1 is on (default)
r.Cache.QueryNodeLevel Level of the lighting sample octree whose node's extents

every frame, even if they would have been cached. 0 is off (default), 1 is on
r.Cache.UpdatePrimsTaskEnabled Enable threading for ILC primitive update. Will
overlap with the rest the end of InitViews.
r.CalcLocalPlayerCachedLODDistanceFactor Should we calculate a LOD Distance Factor
based on the current FOV. Should not be necessary since LOD is already based on

centimeters allowed between two frames before a camera cut is automatically
inserted.
r.CapsuleDirectShadows Whether to allow capsule direct shadowing on skinned
components with bCastCapsuleDirectShadow enabled.

2: Quad at max z
r.Color.Max Allows to define where the value 1.0 in the color channels is mapped to
after color grading.
Value should be around 1, smaller values darken the highlights, larger values move
more colors towards white, Default: 1
r.Color.Mid Allows to define where the value 0.5 in the color channels is mapped to
after color grading (This is similar to a gamma correction).
Value should be around 0.5, smaller values darken the mid tones, larger values
brighten the mid tones, Default: 0.5
r.Color.Min Allows to define where the value 0 in the color channels is mapped to
after color grading.
The value should be around 0, positive: a gray scale is added to the darks,
negative: more dark values become black, Default: 0
r.CompileMaterialsForShaderFormat When enabled, compile materials for this shader
format in addition to those for the running platform.
Note that these shaders are compiled and immediately tossed. This is only useful
when directly inspecting output via r.DebugDumpShaderInfo.
r.CompileShadersForDevelopment Setting this to 0 allows to ship a game with
more optimized shaders as some
editor and development features are not longer compiled into the shaders.
Note: This should be done when shipping but it's not done automatically yet
(feature need to mature
and shaders will compile slower as shader caching from development isn't shared).
Cannot be changed at runtime - can be put into BaseEngine.ini
0: off, shader can run a bit faster

are executed (affects postprocess and some lighting).
Option 1 provides more control, which can be useful for preserving ESRAM, avoid GPU
sync, cluster up compute shaders for performance and control AsyncCompute.
0: tree order starting with the root, first all inputs then dependencies (classic
UE4, unconnected nodes are not getting executed)
1: RegisterPass() call order, unless the dependencies (input and additional)
require a different order (might become new default as it provides more control,
executes all registered nodes)
r.ContactShadows 0: disabled.
1: enabled.

hitching, but use more memory. Otherwise they will be created as needed.
r.CustomDepth 0: feature is disabled
1: feature is enabled, texture is created on demand
2: feature is enabled, texture is not released until required (should be the
project setting if the feature should not stall)
3: feature is enabled, stencil writes are enabled, texture is not released until
required (should be the project setting if the feature should not stall)
r.CustomDepth.Order When CustomDepth (and CustomStencil) is getting rendered
0: Before GBuffer (can be more efficient with AsyncCompute, allows using it in
DBuffer pass, no GBuffer blending decals allow GBuffer compression)
1: After Base Pass (default)
r.CustomDepthTemporalAAJitter If disabled the Engine will remove the TemporalAA
Jitter from the Custom Depth Pass. Only has effect when TemporalAA is used.
r.CustomUnsafeZones Allows you to set custom unsafe zones. Define them based on
Portrait (P) or Landscape (L) for a device oriented 'upright'.Unsafe zones may be

Mostly for finding leaks.
r.D3D11.UseAllowTearing Enable new dxgi flip mode with d3d11
r.D3D11.UseSharedKeyMutex If 1, BUF_Shared vertex / index buffer and
TexCreate_Shared texture will be created
with the D3D11_RESOURCE_MISC_SHARED_KEYEDMUTEX flag instead of
D3D11_RESOURCE_MISC_SHARED (default).
r.D3D12.AllowAsyncCompute Allow usage of async compute
r.D3D12.Depth24Bit 0: Use 32-bit float depth buffer
1: Use 24-bit fixed point depth buffer(default)
r.D3D12.DXR.MinimumDriverVersionAMD Sets the minimum driver version required to
enable ray tracing on AMD GPUs.
r.D3D12.DXR.MinimumDriverVersionNVIDIA Sets the minimum driver version required
to enable ray tracing on NVIDIA GPUs.
r.D3D12.DXR.MinimumWindowsBuildVersion Sets the minimum Windows build version
required to enable ray tracing.
r.D3D12.ExecuteCommandListTask 0: Execute command lists on RHI Thread instead
of separate task!
1: Execute command lists on task created from RHIThread to offload expensive work
(default)
r.D3D12.GPUCrashDebuggingMode Enable GPU crash debugging: tracks the current GPU
state and logs information what operations the GPU executed last.
Optionally generate a GPU crash dump as well (on nVidia hardware only)):
0: GPU crash debugging disabled (default in shipping and test builds)
1: Minimal overhead GPU crash debugging (default in development builds)
2: Enable all available GPU crash debugging options (DRED, Aftermath, ...)

static acceleration structures to save GPU memory. (default = 1)
r.D3D12.RayTracing.ViewDescriptorHeapSize Maximum number of descriptors per ray
tracing view descriptor heap. (default = 250k, ~8MB per heap)
Typical measured descriptor heap usage in large scenes is ~50k. An error is
reported when this limit is reached and shader bindings for subsequent objects are
skipped.
r.D3D12.UseAllowTearing Enable new dxgi flip mode with d3d12
r.DBuffer Enables DBuffer decal material blend modes.
DBuffer decals are rendered before the base pass, allowing them to affect static
lighting and skylighting correctly.
When enabled, a full prepass will be forced which adds CPU / GPU cost. Several

shortens lifetime and fade duration. Default is 1.0f.
r.Decal.FadeScreenSizeMult Control the per decal fade screen size. Multiplies
with the per-decal screen size fade threshold. Smaller means decals fade less
aggressively.
r.Decal.StencilSizeThreshold Control a per decal stencil pass that allows to large
(screen space) decals faster. It adds more overhead per decals so this
<0: optimization is disabled

r.DeferSkeletalDynamicDataUpdateUntilGDME If > 0, then do skeletal mesh dynamic
data updates will be deferred until GDME. Experimental option.
r.DeferUniformExpressionCaching Whether to defer caching of uniform expressions
until a rendering command needs them up to date. Deferring updates is more
efficient because multiple SetVectorParameterValue calls in a frame will only
result in one update.
r.DeferUpdateRenderStates Whether to defer updating the render states of
material parameter collections when a paramter is changed until a rendering command
needs them up to date. Deferring updates is more efficient because multiple
SetVectorParameterValue and SetScalarParameterValue calls in a frame will only
result in one update.
r.DelaySceneRenderCompletion Experimental option to postpone the cleanup of the
scene renderer until later. This does NOT currently work because it is possible for
the scene to be modified before ~FSceneRenderer, and that assumes the scene is
unchanged.
r.DemosaicVposOffset This offset is added to the rasterized position used for
demosaic in the mobile tonemapping shader. It exists to workaround driver bugs on
some Android devices that have a half-pixel offset.
r.DepthOfField.DepthBlur.Amount This scale multiplier only affects the
CircleDOF DepthBlur feature (value defines in how many km the radius goes to 50%).

It lineary scale the DepthBlur by the resolution increase over 1920 (in width),
does only affect resolution larger than that.
Actual math: float Factor = max(ViewWidth / 1920 - 1, 0); DepthBlurRadius *= 1 +
Factor * (CVar - 1)
1: No adjustments (default)
x: if the resolution is 1920 there is no change, if 2x larger than 1920 it scale
the radius by x

CircleDOF DepthBlur feature. This is applied after
r.DepthOfField.DepthBlur.ResolutionScale.
0: Disable Depth Blur
x: Multiply the existing Depth Blur Radius with x

fully affects BokehDOF. GaussianDOF is either 0 for off, otherwise on.
0: Off
1: Low
2: high quality (default, adaptive, can be 4x slower)
3: very high quality, intended for non realtime cutscenes, CircleDOF only (slow)
4: extremely high quality, intended for non realtime cutscenes, CircleDOF only
(very slow)
r.DetailMode Current detail mode; determines whether components of actors
should be updated/ ticked.

Distance', clamped to [0.0001, 10000].
I.e.: DistanceFieldShadowsDistance *= r.DFDistanceScale.
[0.0001,1): shorter distance
1: normal (default)
(1,10000]: larger distance.)
r.DFFarTransitionScale Use to modify the length of the far transition (fade out)
of the distance field shadows.
1.0: (default) Calculate in the same way as other cascades.0.0: Disable fade out.
r.DFFullResolution 1 = full resolution distance field shadowing, 0 = half
resolution with bilateral upsample.
r.DFShadowAverageObjectsPerCullTile Determines how much memory should be allocated
in distance field object culling data structures. Too much = memory waste, too
little = flickering due to buffer overflow.
r.DFShadowCullTileWorldSize World space size of a tile used for culling for
directional lights.
r.DFShadowQuality Defines the distance field shadow method which allows to adjust
for quality or performance.
0:off, 1:low (20 steps, no SSS), 2:medium (32 steps, no SSS), 3:high (64 steps,
SSS, default)
r.DFShadowScatterTileCulling Whether to use the rasterizer to scatter objects onto
the tile grid for culling.

at 1 to a new value (0..1), Only for non shipping built!
1: (default)
r.DiffuseColor.Min Allows quick material test by remapping the diffuse color
at 1 to a new value (0..1), Only for non shipping built!
1: (default)
r.DiffuseIndirect.Denoiser Denoising options (default = 1)
r.DisableDistortion Prevents distortion effects from rendering. Saves a full-
screen framebuffer's worth of memory.
r.DisableDriverWarningPopupIfGFN If non-zero, disable driver version warning
popup if running on a GFN cloud machine.
r.DisableEngineAndAppRegistration If true, disables engine and app registration,
to disable GPU driver optimizations during debugging and development
Changes will only take effect in new game/editor instances - can't be changed at
runtime.
r.DisableLODFade Disable fading for distance culling
r.DiscardUnusedQuality Whether to keep or discard unused quality level shadermaps
in memory.
0: keep all quality levels in memory. (default)

time.
r.DistanceFieldAO Whether the distance field AO feature is allowed, which is used
to implement shadows of Movable sky lights from static meshes.
r.DistanceFieldBuild.Compress Whether to store mesh distance fields compressed in
memory, which reduces how much memory they take, but also causes serious hitches
when making new levels visible. Only enable if your project does not stream levels
in-game.
Changing this regenerates all mesh distance fields.
r.DistanceFieldBuild.EightBit Whether to store mesh distance fields in an 8 bit
fixed point format instead of 16 bit floating point.
8 bit uses half the memory, but introduces artifacts for large meshes or thin
meshes.

mesh converts into distance field voxel dimensions.
Changing this will cause all distance fields to be rebuilt. Large values can
consume memory very quickly!
r.DistanceFields.DiscardCPUData Discard Mesh DF CPU data once it has been ULed
to Atlas. WIP - This cant be used if atlas gets reallocated and mesh DF needs to be
ULed again to new atlas
r.DistanceFields.ForceAtlasRealloc Force a full realloc.
r.DistanceFields.ForceMaxAtlasSize When enabled, we'll always allocate the largest
possible volume texture for the distance field atlas regardless of how many blocks
we need. This is an optimization to avoid re-packing the texture, for projects that
are expected to always require the largest amount of space.
r.DistanceFields.MaxPerMeshResolution Highest resolution (in one dimension)
allowed for a single static mesh asset, used to cap the memory usage of meshes with
a large scale.
Changing this will cause all distance fields to be rebuilt. Large values such as
512 can consume memory very quickly! (128Mb for one asset at 512)
r.DistanceFields.ParallelAtlasUpdate Whether to parallelize distance field
data decompression and copying to upload buffer
r.DistanceFields.RuntimeDownsamplingFactor When enabled (higher than 0 and
lower than 1), mesh distance field will be downsampled by factor value on GPU and
uploaded to the atlas.
r.DistanceFields.ThrottleCopyToAtlasInBytes When enabled (higher than 0),
throttle mesh distance field copy to global mesh distance field atlas volume (in
bytes uncompressed).

r.DOF.Scatter.MaxSpriteRatio Maximum ratio of scattered pixel quad as sprite,
usefull to control DOF's scattering upperbound. 1 will allow to scatter 100% pixel
quads, whereas 0.2 will only allow 20% (default = 0.1).
r.DOF.Scatter.MinCocRadius Minimal Coc radius required to be scattered (default
= 3).
r.DOF.Scatter.NeighborCompareMaxColor Controles the linear color clamping
upperbound applied before color of pixel and neighbors are compared. To low, and
you may not scatter enough; to high you may scatter unnecessarily too much in
highlights (Default: 10).
r.DOF.TemporalAAQuality Quality of temporal AA pass done in DOF.
0: Faster but lower quality; 1: Higher quality pass (default).
r.DoInitViewsLightingAfterPrepass Delays the lighting part of InitViews until
after the prepass. This improves the threading throughput and gets the prepass to
the GPU ASAP. Experimental options; has an unknown race.
r.DoLazyStaticMeshUpdate If true, then do not add meshes to the static mesh
draw lists until they are visible. Experiemental option.
r.DontLimitOnBattery 0: Limit performance on devices with a battery.(default)
1: Do not limit performance due to device having a battery.
r.DoPrepareDistanceFieldSceneAfterRHIFlush If true, then do the distance field
scene after the RHI sync and flush. Improves pipelining.

might add more quality levels later.
0: low quality
>0: high quality (default: 1)
r.DownsampledOcclusionQueries Whether to issue occlusion queries to a downsampled
depth buffer
r.DrawRectangleOptimization Controls an optimization for DrawRectangle(). When
enabled a triangle can be used to draw a quad in certain situations (viewport sized
quad).
Using a triangle allows for slightly faster post processing in lower resolutions
but can not always be used.
0: Optimization is disabled, DrawDenormalizedQuad always render with quad
1: Optimization is enabled, a triangle can be rendered where specified (default)
r.DriverDetectionMethod Defines which implementation is used to detect the GPU
driver (to check for old drivers, logs and statistics)
0: Iterate available drivers in registry and choose the one with the same name, if
in question use next method (happens)
1: Get the driver of the primary adapter (might not be correct when dealing with
multiple adapters)
2: Use DirectX LUID (would be the best, not yet implemented)
3: Use Windows functions, use the primary device (might be wrong when API is using
another adapter)
4: Use Windows functions, use names such as DirectX Device (newest, most promising)
