Graphical Settings Comparison - Low to Ultra High - GTX 1060 VS RX 480
Now we move into a more in-depth performance comparison of the game's graphical presets, showcasing how demanding Kingdom Come can be at its higher settings, offering almost Crysis-like levels of strain on the system. On pages 4 & 5 you can view the visual differences between these graphical settings.
When comparing AMD's RX 480 and Nvidia's GTX 1060, it is clear that the Radeon GPU comes out on top. The RX 480 offers higher minimum framerates at all settings while providing higher average framerates at all settings except for Ultra High, where Nvidia edges a victory by 0.1 FPS, which is not enough to consider it a real win for Nvidia.
Moving beyond high settings results in huge framerate dips, which are typically not worth the increases in graphical detail that Kingdom Come delivers, though these settings become a lot more playable if settings like shader quality, shadow quality and post-processing quality are reduced to high. These changes offer a much better gameplay experience with a minimal hit to graphical fidelity.

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
