So this is something that has always interested me ever since the game Oblivion came out on pc. I don't know if anyone ever noticed or not.. but there were some differences. If I recall correctly, the gpu's I tested back in the day were either a 1800xt or 1900xt something like that and 8800gtx and a 9800gx2. I observed that there were some differences in lighting. AMD actually had better lighting, now I don't know if there were settings that needed to be changed somewhere but out of the box AMD had better lighting. Example, there was a glow around objects such as the sword and weapons you carry. The nvidia cards... didn't have it.
Fast forward. I observed in Farcry 4 even from the original GTX Titan to a 970. The 970 had a more interesting lighting due the (VXGI) The mountains had better snow and there were more details in the sky. So... I'm wondering... If I was to go with the 390x will I be missing out on good lighting?
