Are Ultra HD Textures worth it?

[andyroo]

I have had them on for a few hours now and while I can get over 60fps most of the time, frame drops and stutter occur all the time. Are they any good comparisons you guys have seen? Does it seem worthwhile even?

Probably not worth it for 1080p resolutions. The difference for me is negligible as well.

[Omgitsduongster]

yes it is if u can go higher then 1080

Hmmmmmmmmm

Frankly, I have a very decent rig. i7-4770, 8 gigs, Geforce 770 GTX and I play with medium textures and everything else mostly at high or higher.

I dont see the need or point to do ultra for negligable eye candy. Im running 60 FPS. I also run at 1080p resolution.

The game looks great even with medium textures. I pushed it up to high when I first started playing and barely noticed any slow down but the difference just isnt that much of a deal for me.

The only way I might change my mind is if I actually saw a comparison video.

So something completely unnoticeable uses 6GB VRAM. It probbly will make a difference at super high resolutions I guess, thanks for the image post.

That image is too low of a resolution to possibly offer a comparison.

The only noticeable difference I can see is a texture on the orange/red cloth in the image that isn't present in the high textures. Other than that they look identical to me. I can't see anything else that looks noticeably different.

It's only noticable if you have a high resolution monitor or if you zoom into a texture. Otherwise during general gameplay, you will probably not notice at all.

i have a hardcore rig and runs the game on a 4K screen so for me its worth it

The same thing I was thinking. Looks like they are playing at 720p or something. Of course you wouldn't notice the difference then.

I want to use the resolution scaling / super sampling to make it perdier, but the only way I can do that is if I turn Ultra textures off. But then, since I am increasing the resolution, the Ultra textures will be more needed. The ultimate catch 22 :P

Yeah probably, gotta wait for more screenshots. I can't imagine the difference being so small when ultra requires 3GB more vram....

Better believe it.

i'm using 1080p resolution, have been playing an hour on high and an hour on ultra (with restarting the game after changing the textures) i didn't notice much.

[SilentWolff]

It was damn noticeable when I installed it. But I'm playing at 2k.
