What even is the difference anymore?
>>748951837low looks the best imo, I don't care about pointless ground detail
low has more detail
>>748951837Graphics peaked with Crysis and animation peaked with TF2. Physics simulation has no yet peaked but also nobody is working on it they went all in on fake AI graphics crap.
>>748951837I don't see the hidden image.
>>748951837better start believing in diminishing returns anon because you're in deep
>>748951837You have to see these things in motion to really appreciate the differences. Static pictures don't provide enough information about what each setting does most of the time.
>>748951837Console fagits are obsessed with muh graphics because they can't tweak the setting or mod their game. Their analysis of any given game is no deeper or wider than muh graphics.Pcmasterrace understands that a player customizes the settings until you achieve a level of performance that is pleasing for that game. Ex - A game may require meticulous exploration into every nook and cranny of the map. For that game, a player may choose high detail with a 60 refresh rate. Perhaps that game has very dark dungeons. Perhaps the player does not like exploring in the dark. The player will bump up the brightness. Perhaps the player likes the challenge of the dark. The player will lower the brightness and carry a torch. Ex - A game may include fights where rapid movements by the player as well as careful observation of the rapid movements of the enemy are required. For that game, a player may choose lower detail with highest refresh rates.>Is there any point in playing vidya games in max settings?You sound like a console fagit, OP. Are you?
>>748953230For me I don't like seeing short LODs, especially when it comes to grass. Don't know why but that gets under my skin to see it pop into existence 10 feet away from my character. Having that pop in happen as far out as I can without destroying performance is a must for me.
>>748951837Depends on the game.
>>748951837I never understood why nudoom of all things had a focus on great graphics when you can barely tell during the fast combat and people who enjoy the gameplay will just turn everything down to get as many frames as they can, but their engine is still pretty good and optimized. Even despite the forced raytracing dark ages ran well on my deck.
I don't think I've ever played a game with ray tracing enabled
>>748955659you absolutely can tell if you have good monitor and enough fps, if you dont, you might as well drop settings, because you are losing most of the pq and detail of ultramaxed settings to bad motion resolution it doesnt bring that much to the game anyway
>>748953254spoken like a true retard lmao
>>748951837I never did it, I only max out Textures + Shadows and MAYBE LOD/DrawDistance if the pop-in is bad. Rest always on lowest and specifically the dogshit post-processing garbage.And of course 1440p native only or DLAA if available.
steam machine absolutely blackpilled me on the graphics arm race, 1080p 60 is fine. i dont care anymore. also im 31yo oldfag
>>74895762644 year old ancient fag here.The single most red pilling incident regarding visual fidelity of my life occurred when I asked my 2 daughters with excellent eyesight which they liked better on our 65 inch TV, dvd or Blu-ray.They looked me dead in my eyes and said dvd. We have a huge collection of both. I then explained the difference in formats and they kinda got bored and shrugged at me. When i asked about their opinions in this difference in easily observable picture quality and my 11 year old replied she only cared if the movie was good or not. The 13 year old? She just shrugged and said there wasn't enough difference to care.This applies to video games, if its good youll play it on a busted CRT with scan lines and if its crap it wont matter how good it looks.1080p 60 fps. If its not good at those settings 4k and 120 wont save it
>>748951837>picSo it's unplayable on that setup no matter the settings.Time for upscaling.
>>748958678Update.So i decided to ask again as this thread made the topic relevant.When asked 'whats the difference between a Blu-ray and DVD my 11 (now 12) year old daughter responded thusly:'one has a blue case and way more annoying ads you can't skip'Leave it to a child to tell you the emperor has no goddamn clothes.
>>748959276Foids are retarded, why would you ask retard about anything? When my 8yo nephew came to visit me on holidays, he immediately noticed I switched from 4k/60 monitor to 1440/240 and liked it much better.
>>748960825Yeah you're likely full of shit.
