…Moreover, these effects were noticeable even when running on high-end PC hardware. The Xbox Series X version also exhibited only middling image quality, as all of these effects do come at…
…Water rendering uses a lower quality mesh with simpler ripple simulation, while volumetric effects are heavily pared back, often presenting with obvious dithering in tunnels and transitional areas. Geometry is simplified and…
…The effect becomes more pronounced when v-sync is enabled, but less so with VRR enabled as we generally recommend. Still, with the horsepower to increase performance above 60fps on the RTX…
…Also welcome is the improved volumetric effects from the PC's ultra preset, where light streaming in through windows now looks much more tightly defined, catching floating dust particles in space, while…
