Ultra settings a joke ??!

[jjohnthedon1]

Was playing the decision last night at Beyoncé ultra at 80 fps 

switched to medium just for jokes to see how bad it would be 

and there was litterly no different apart from my fps at 170 lol

ibtrued it with all my games after that 

and now personally think ultra is overrated 

I can tell a single difference past high 

what do u guys think ???

ultra overrated ???

please try it and see what u think

[Skiiwee29]

alot of the higher settings is the post processing of the small details, like hair effects, view distance, grass, water, slightly lower texture resolution etc... it really can be difficult to tell in some games and more in others when you turn the settings down and tweak them up to crank the FPS. 

[WereCat]

Depends on game. In some games the difference is huge in other there is no difference.

AA?

Cutscenes?

Render distance?

Ram usage?

Upclose texture detail?

Fog?

Particles?

Often the difference between the highest settings is minimal. It's buying the most expensive GPU over the one below that, it makes less difference than the lowest end two GPU's.

 

(also, nice autocorrect on the first sentence)

Nope, but was mostly talking about the "Beyoncé" part I think.

1440p

 

try to run it on a native 1080p display at 1080p and try. See if there's AA going on or something

I have a 1440p monitor tho so it is native

 

1080p pixel size bothers me some what

In some games like GTA V, you can notice some difference if you turn on the advanced settings, shadows render even further away, but if you turn that setting off, shadow only render when you are close... Although shadow still render when you are relatively close to them.

I'm with y'all on render distance but 

like image quality that shit looks all the same to me

Yeah, it's more or less the same, some shadows settings (different from the one I've mentioned above) change A LOT, like, night and day for me (Medium vs high). Everything else (most of it) is just a 'because I can' thing.

Litterly just because I can il play at ultra but I have no reason too 

this effects my next upgrade choice 

and just basically doubled the life time of my Gpus tho

In many games the visual difference between high/very high or ultra (everything maxed) is barely noticeable unless you know what to look for. 

 

It's also a mentality thing. Some people just feel better knowing they can turn everything to the max and still play at over 60fps. 

[BrightCandle]

Its just game dependent. Sometimes all the extra settings get you are refinements on existing effects like softer shadows and maybe a bit better AA in motion. Othertimes its a completely different lighting system or vastly better antialiasing. It varies so much by game that its not something you can talk about generally.

And your last eye exam, was?  

[FPS-Russia]

Some game is ok to bring looks down and you won't notice it at all, like Battlefield has shadow settings, turn them down no lower tham medium to free up FPS.

There's a pretty big disparity between a lot of the settings. You can argue if they are worth the fps investment, but not that the difference isn't there. But like I said, in a fast paced shooter you won't see them as fast paced shooters are not meant to be played in a way that has you noticing textures or clutter.
