Graphics settings that you always turn down/turn off

ManOfDisguise

Which grpahics settings in game do you find annoying or a big hit to your performance to have to turn them down or off?

 

For me it's bloom, motion blur, depth of field(off most of the time), aa(most of the time off), post processing off most of the time, fxaa off and physx if its available as that takes a lot of performance with it  and of course i dont change res from native ever.

i usually just turn off anti aliasing. no need for it really.

most of the time i just let the PC figure out the recommended settings and don't really touch them after that :P

Motion Blur. Makes me feel ill, dunno why.

Motion blur. I don't know who thought that was a good idea.

You know what's easier than buying and building a brand new PC? Petty larceny!
If you're worried about getting caught, here's a trick: Only steal one part at a time. Plenty of people will call the cops because somebody stole their computer -- nobody calls the cops because they're "pretty sure the dirty-bathrobe guy from next door jacked my heat sink."

I literally see no difference going from 5:4 1280x1024 to 1920x1080 16x9 except for aspect ration - literally 0 difference on a pixel-level.

Motion Blur, AA, Lens Flares, DoF and V-sync. Usally play on lowest settings to get the most FPS if I'm not already above 200

Having everything on screen with no AA is better than Lowering LODs and keeping AA up

Motion blur then chromatic aberration. Fuck off with that shit, it's got nothing to do with performance.

Lowering it (turning it off) saves them FPS.

The ability to google properly is a skill of its own.

Most things, although AA happens first. My level of nihilism tends to go up as my sliders go down.

Eeh, by gum.

Bloom, DoF, Ambient Occlusion, motion blur, and anything else that alters the viewing experience. I want everything to be as clear as can be in my game, anything bluring my screen or creating unnecessary BS isn't ok with me.

I'll always hunt for Depth of Field and Motion Blur settings to turn them off.
