Silent Hill f: Hardware RT Lumen (No Performance Loss) + True Epic Quality Preset Optimized

0:00 Intro
0:52 SW Lumen vs. HW Lumen
2:50 HW Lumen + True Epic Settings
4:13 Engine.ini Tweaks
4:53 HW Lumen vs. HW Lumen "True Epic"
6:02 True Epic Settings Optimized
8:46 HW Lumen vs. True Epic vs. Epic Optimized Preset
9:57 HW Lumen "True Epic" vs. Epic Optimized Preset

Update: Hardware Lumen doesn't seem to do anything. However, the "True Epic" settings still drastically improve the quality of shadows and lighting by enhancing SW Lumen resolution.
