Graphical Comparisons - Low, Medium, High, Very High and Max Settings - Page 2
When it comes to the graphics on PC many people are all or nothing, but these days games set to their minimum settings don't look that bad, still offering decent texture and shadow detail, but allowing players to get a solid 60FPS on even lower end hardware.
All of these Screenshots have been taken at a 4K resolution, so if you want to see these images in their full 4K glory, all you need to do is simply click on them.
A lot of the details in this game is something that you will not notice much during gameplay, as you really do need a side to side comparison to notice a lot of the visual changes. In motion the biggest differences between each of the graphical settings is the level of detail of distant objects, as you will frequently see objects drawing in at lower settings.
Moving from High to Max is where you will see the biggest difference in in-game visuals which is very noticeable as soon as you start up the game. The world becomes much more realistic, with shadows moving from merely looking like slightly darker versions of the non-shadowed environment to looking like a real life shadow. This does a lot to make the buildings and the mountainous environment look alive, rather than having the look of a static model village look.

Really? You shouldn't have such biased preconceptions when testing.
Good review though, and the predisposition implied above didn't go any further, in at least proved that performance is better on Nvidia hardware. Why even mention the accusation of implied competitor borking?
I would like more game reviews to state if they are SLI or Crossfire compatible upon release (a rarity these days) and if ultra widescreen (3440x1440) is natively supported or a hack is required. Some scores at the resolution would be nice too - go as TTL for some more hardware for your reviews

Of course I understand that without two of each of the cards in your possession it's not easy to comment aside from whether the game purports to work or not.
Maybe if you have a couple of lower tier cards donated you can at least see whether it works or not, regardless of performance you would be able to ascertain whether both cards are working and if there's an improvement. The cost of course would be that it would take additional testing however you wouldn't need to run it at every resolution.
Whether that would be worth the time and expense or not is up to you. I'd like to see it but I understand the limitations. Still a very good review.

I think you could probably put this down to the fact that if it's a gameworks title then NVidia would have certainly had input and early access to write the drivers for it.
Any chance on an update once AMD release their driver? Once again it could be just at max resolution to measure the improvement.
One last thing:

Clearly there is a significant difference. Team Red changed the colour of the car. Or maybe it's just coincidence
