What is SH Diffuse quality?

[John Hammond]

Any graphic settings gurus? Google doesn't seem to want to tell me. Trying to hit 4k 60 with a 1080ti and 4790k. Dropping this helps a decent bit but I have no idea what I am losing.

I don't know what it is either, I turned it to low and saw literally no difference but a 20% FPS gain

Same. Definitely worth dropping as far as I can tell. Game looks jawdroppingly good.

SH probably stands for shaders. So how they travel space maybe ?

It's the quality of the transparency fade for objects when you're doing things like hiding in a bush or if your camera is near an object or other part of the environment. Looks like lots of tiny tiny dots when you look closely, that setting controls just how tiny/blurry they are.

I remember seeing that in Two Worlds 2, doesn't bother me at all especially since turning it to high is so demanding

Well Diffuse typically refers to the Diffuse map of a texture. That is the main details. Then you have Normal Maps for depth and details. Specular Maps to give lighting detail.
