Just wanted to share screenshots of the differences in the 4 graphical settings that had the most impact on performance in game.
- textures = HIGH, i should have did testing on ULTRA but by the time I realized I said screw it lol
- resolution = 1920x1200; 16:10
AMBIENT OCCLUSION:
REFLECTIONS:
SHADOWS:
LEVEL OF DETAIL:

ANTI ALIASING:

AMBIENT OCCLUSION:
(easily distinguishable differences, HBAO LOW added unnecessary shadowing in some places and MHBAO looked close enough to HBAO HIGH with less performance hit)
NO AO
MHBAO
HBAO LOW
HBAO HIGH
NO AO
MHBAO
HBAO LOW
HBAO HIGH
REFLECTIONS:
(surprisingly notable differences, if i recall, GTA4 had the same performance hits with these levels too. ULTRA hits too hard for the negligible aesthetic improvement. HIGH is sweet spot)
LOW
MEDIUM

ULTRA

SHADOWS:
(actually had little impact on overall performance, most modern rigs can splurge and keep this at ultra)
LOW

LEVEL OF DETAIL:
(biggest hit on performance with very notable differences between LOW/MED and HIGH/ULTRA)

ANTI ALIASING:
(i'll let the pictures speak for themselves. for some reason the 4x settings glitched out on me. It'll probably go away once I restart the game but whatever)
