| Captain_Yuri said: Ultra vs. High Settings in PC Games https://www.techspot.com/article/2338-ultra-vs-high-settings/ The jist of it is that most people shouldn't be using Ultra settings due to diminishing returns for the performance hit that you get. Of course, they don't factor in Ray Tracing or DLSS which imo is different. Ray tracing in games that are properly implemented combined with DLSS will give you a pretty noticeable visual upgrade while maintaining decent performance. If you turn on Ray Tracing on AMD sponsored games like RE or Far Cry 6, then yea, it's useless and you really need a magnifying glass to see the difference. But with something like Cyberpunk? Oof. Looks incredible! And of course, if you play something like Spiderman or Ratchet and Clank on PS5 with RT on, it can show you what console optimization can do with RT. |
I never use Ultra settings anymore. I can't tell the difference between that and high in most games and it usually halves your fps going from high to ultra. The biggest impact in performance for the least impact in visuals. High settings and then crank the resolution as high as I can get it without dropping frames is what I do.
