| Mummelmann said: Lots of issues with Gameworks, I've had more than a few problems myself and usually disable these affects. And when they do work; the resources they require are so not matched by the visual upgrades they provide (like Hairworks in The Witcher 3, reduced my fps from mid 70's to mid 40's and high 30's...). |
Exactly, especially with their own version of DoF like in Dying Light:

All it did for me was make things in the background far more blurry than normal and my fps took a kick every few seconds whenever I was in a cutscene with an NPC.
They also recently updated Dying Light with Nividia's own shadows:

This was my result from the patch:

No shadows to be seen at all and it actually made things looking much worse.
Here are some sliders for the new shadows and imo they look worse when they are blurred, I prefer shadows that are more pronounced and detailed than blurred to a point where I don't know what the shadow is even being cast from. Nvidia GW seems to do more harm than good from performance and visual results.
I can't wait for Techland to give us the enxt patch which should hopefully allow for us to turn fof that horrid Chromatic Aberration effect.
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
