Dafuq?
Aside from some minimal shadow effects missing in the Low’s, the textures and LoD look exactly the same.
Am I missing something??
Even I don’t think that these are Low vs Ultra.
Because every pic is almost same, no change in lightening quality.
A job well done by Visceral and Frostbite if you do not notice any differences.
Upper left corner – fps and GPU memory usage
Ultra 80-110 fps, > 1.5 GB VRAM/GPU
Low 120-165 fps, < 1.5 GB VRAM/GPU
So where does that extra memory and performance go?
Mostly toward making the picture less perfect!
First picture pair:
– secondary light shadows?
Second picture pair:
– floating objects
Fourth and fifth
– irregular smoke (by window)
– light reflections on door frame
Seventh
– smoke or clear view
– jaggy shadow on bridge
Low might trying to compensate for lower resolution textures with more aggressive sharpening, look at next to last picture – is it a boy or an old man?
Also notice the lower quality textures in almost all the close ups images (can be easily noticed on the fourth pair). Moreover, notice the more aggressive LOD that is present in Low settings (last pair, notice the first tree near the door on your left)
can you fix the white flash between every picture when you want to go to next picture? its really distracting
I was looking at WCCF article about Battlefield Hardline comparison PC vs PS4 and they dont have this problem with their pictures
im saying this because I want dsog to keep being the best tnx 😉
no i agree maybe some more effects and such but as far a looks go just about the same
Exactly my reaction!!
Shows its all BS…and this game is a console port…
I bought this yesterday and haven’t played it yet because I’ve just installed the Kraken X61 (beast) But it has 5, yes, 5 discs. It took over 30mins to install lol.
Ahh Kraken is Good but CM Nepton 280L r.2 is The King of the Performance.
Also Kraken is much expensive…
Enyways congratulations, what CPU u’re using BTW?
The i7 4790k, gonna overclock this bad boy in the week. Great temps at 19c-20c idle.
Wow this game looks like sht.
I feel horrible for buying this game, gladly i used a VPN so i didn’t pay full price, but GTA 5 is still a month away and i need something to entertain me.
The difference nearly doesn’t exist , the lighting maybe and thats it. Amazingly bad job lol.
Odd. Barely any change in graphically quality
1% difference thats it
I think you guys should mention that BF hardline use Denuvo DRM for people who wants to install it on a SSD
No they shouldn’t mention that because the DRM does not constantly read or write any data to storage media.
It was debunked, Denuvo DRM wont kill your SSD/HDD but I didnt know the game use Denuvo DRM. Its funny how FIFA 15 and BF Hardline use Denuvo DRM considering the fact that most gamers buy those games for multiplayer lol
with fifa you can still play offline co op but really why put a DRM for a fukin battlefield singleplayer !?
I have seen people buy call of duty just for singleplayer but never seen anyone even liking BF singleplayer
you telling me they bother using denuvoe for a 5 hour sp no one is gonna play but they cant add a freaking fov slider in it so it CAN be played?
I mean doesnt denuvo cost time and money? Where fov does not?
Ea’s priorites are amazingly missguided.
And still people saying “EA have changed” No they didnt! EA is still the same big greedy company, Ubisoft just got shitier thats all and you think EA is better now
That and the fact that ea hasnt releases the same amount of games as they used too, closing down studio does that apparently.
The ones they did arent that good either. Sims 4: which is a step back from previews sims , Battlefield hardline: the only good thing about it is its not like the Bf4 horrible lunch because its bf4’s dlc, Titanfall: is a ghost town even when the game was $5 and season pass is free AND Dragon age and plants vs zombies both have fukin Microtransactions -_-
it saddens me dragon age sold so well and its goty.
Damn, I usually see clear differences but look at the last comparison, can’t tell which one could be the high one if I didn’t know. The foliage is different when you compare.
So if you want it playable both visually and in terms of framerate you keep it at low settings, and if you want to sacrifice frames for blur on the shadows and fog everywhere you can pick something other than low settings. EA does it again.
