Potato to Ultra Profiles

Complementary profiles give named quality tiers so you do not guess every checkbox. Potato favors FPS. Ultra favors screenshots. Medium is the balanced daily driver for many PCs.

Pick a starting tier, then save a custom profile after small edits.

Profile tiers explained

Profile Best for What to expect
Potato Low-end GPUs and laptops Playable light and shadows with lean effects
Low Older discrete GPUs Clear upgrade over Potato with modest cost
Medium Most everyday PCs Strong default for survival
High Gaming desktops Richer fog, shadows, and water
Ultra Screenshot and cinematic setups Highest cost, easiest to overheat laptops

Custom profiles that stick

After you edit options, save a custom name that includes the style and use case, for example Unbound Survival or Reimagined Stream.

Keep a backup Medium profile so you can recover quickly after experimental toggles or Euphoria Patches tests.

Which profile to pick first

New install on a normal desktop: Medium. Laptop or older GPU: Potato. Screenshot session on a strong card: High or Ultra after Medium already looks stable.

Do not mix random max toggles on top of Ultra, that is how Complementary feels “broken” when the real issue is overload. Use the FPS boost guide if frames drop after a profile jump.

Save a custom profile

Once you like a mix, save it with a clear name (for example “survival-medium-shadows-low”). That makes updates easier later, see updating Complementary safely.

Habits transfer. Recheck visuals after a style swap because defaults differ.
Use the same starting profile for both, then compare looks. Style pages: Unbound and Reimagined.
