Graphical Quality Comparison - Part 1
Moving through the game's graphical settings, it is easy to notice adjustments to the game's level of detail system, with each graphical upgrade showcasing increased draw distances for shadows, high-resolution textures, and a range of geometric details.
Unlike most modern PC titles the move to ultra provides gamers with a noteworthy increase in detail, especially when looking at the walls of Rattay in the distance, where the geometric and texture clarity of walls, towers and other fortifications are increased.
At low settings, we see a considerable decrease in distant detail over medium settings, with the camp in the mid-distance disappearing entirely from view. Another problem which is not seen in this screenshot is the fact that heads are often drawn in at different distances than the bodies of other characters, resulting in a sea of often headless masses when entering population centres and a more than a few headless horsemen at times.

Might have to pick up this game to give my new system a real work out
QuoteI recommend Very High since Ultra High doesn't seem that well optimized.Quote

Also this game isn't that bad to run for me. 1440p and a 1080 I am running just fine. There are some places where performance tanks and things do need to be addressed but thankfully that's not that often(like big battles or crowded streets).
I will say however that the texture streaming in this game is god awful. Got a mod that edits the settings and you can change how much memory this game consumes(it has such a low cap for memory, WH was ultra conservative it seems for consoles) and the texture streaming was immediately reduced. The dynamic settings WH used is super aggressive even on maxed out LOD settings. Still happens but far less noticeable with the "mod"(more like cfg file).
One other thing is they need to improve load times. I'm on a ssd and it's kinda long(for an ssd anyway). Can't even imagine HDD users.Quote
