PCG threw up graphics options, performance and settings article 14hrs ago.

From what I'm seeing medium to Ultra really doesn't look that much different and the gains don't appear to be that great either, Gameworks with the other options from what I'm hearing take hits on fps # and from what I;ve seen from trailers showing off the Nvidia hair doesn't make it a world of difference either, if you like slight flowing hair in exchange for an FPS hit then by all means, I just find it annoying how the minimalistic this all appears, the GW+hair is minimal but takes a hit on fps so it's more or less a trade than a win/win gain, I feel it's not something we should haver to wait another 2-3 years just to wait for new hardware to come out and then play it the way it was meant to be played, R* gets away with that somehow.

Also toppest of keks at Nvidia's slider:

Apparently there's also a tweaks guide from them to put in some of the looks from previous versions we've seen but they will definitely take a hit on fps and again they don't sound like massive world changing tweaks either.

I probably should have made a thread about this for the PC ver but since this one has both PC/PS4 mentioned (and sadly both look more or less the same thanks to parity), I thought I;d just post the details here.

Also Witcher 3 screens in 1440p:

benchmark test with the Titan (original not X) makes my sides explode:

Ultimately I just feel disappointed from all that's transpired, I mean what we're seeing is minimal gains and they are asking for much higher end hardware which in the end takes hits anyway because the game is apparently so demanding with HW/GW/Ultra to show so little in returns, it reminds me of when WD wanted higher hardware and you got nada in terms of gains.

I was originally going to build a new spec for this but now I don't see the point, well not for this game I mean, I'm still going to build the spec to it's original design but I feel it's going to be geared towards MGSV, I'm not even showing any high hopes for AK let alone anything from ubisoft or bethesda.


The graphics are soomth on my 980. i have everything on ultra including hair works and i get 60fps. i only have a 980 lol. Theres a difference between the console version and pc on ultra. its massive difference , but its definetly noticeable.  If they made it any better looking than that , n one would be able to play it and they will lose alot of sales as most gamers dont have those kind of specs. The Hair technology is quite nice especially when you run or when the wind blows through it. For the sheer size of the world, the graphics are beautiful. for me the best looking open world game .
