Screen space reflection off on ultra preset…interesting
It’s a heavy effect and can really only be seen on armor when zoomed in that close. Due to game’s overly fast pace (since shogun2) you never zoom in even to see unit vs. unit battle. So SSR is something you would really notice only in replays or when paused. It’s implementation vs. cost is thus questionable
Doesn’t really matter, to me with a GTX 1080 and an old school I7, playing almost maxed at 1440p, it is all good on 1v1 battles, it kinda holds the 45-70 fps. The problem is playing the campaign with 2 forces at the same time because lest face it, you rarely ever send just one force, as the reenforcements coming in randomly on one side of the map, 1 at a time just sucks. But then it is just a murder on the FPS, not because of the graphics card, you can play it on low and it wont make much of a difference, the CPU is what gets completely destroyed.
low setting has 2d porthole quality lol
What’s so funny about that? Those are the lowest settings, so squeezing out a bit more power may be important.
By the way, some people may prefer static portraits and choose them even at Ultra settings.
Unlimited video memory…sounds Vega…
