  1. The graphics look look really good in comparison to how they are now. I understand its graphics cards on PCs but is it like 4K or HD?
    Im on PS5 so it will be interesting to see the differences.
    Side note, ive seen Fortnite being played on a huge 4k tv(ps5) and the graphics are really really nice.

  2. The side-by-side comparisons really make it imo. The light is now softer with more natural gradation on the faces planes. Natural light gets reflexted everywhere, even the air itself, so a hard shadowline as you would have with strong lighting from a single source, looks unnatural in an outside environment. Long story short: I didnt need this update, I would've waited for the game release to see the changes, but this is just a very nice gesture and I appreciate the effort 🙂

    (Yes, I can be cynical saying, they only did this to keep players happy especially given the fact that many people were unhappy with post-EW and others who have declared their departure after the Hydaelyn-Zodiark-Arc, but I deceide to not be cynical: its a way happier existence to see the good in things/people instead of tearing others down.)

    I havent really tinkered with the next benchmark. I created a female viera and I really love how the eyes turned out. My PC, though new, "only" had a "high" rating in the end but though its a gaming PC it nothing special. I probably still tune up the graphics and accept some stutter XD
