Many settings like Shadow Quality affects draw distance also not only definition, something you can't really see from this comparison when standing still or up close.

[Tlouman]

I see no difference in terrain quality at all

[Bruno-qxnh]

Definately Low is the only one that looks greatly different from the other presets, but even so it is still great! However, when comparing medium with ultra you almost see no difference in any setting...If you can run it on Medium it will be amazin! if not, try turning off AO, use FXAA or no AA at all. Reduce resolution scale, lights and shadows on low. These are the most demanding issues.

[WarlordRising]

Did all the tweaks myself. Most notable difference is seen with AA, depth of field, HBAO, and shadows. Low shadow is horrendously blocky. Medium to High/Ultra is slightly less noticeable. Temporal AA is the only way to go for crystal clear images. FXAA in this game is useless, and very jaggy. Depth of field at Ultra is essential for the cutscenes. Ultra mesh quality is optimal for the large Nomad levels (not so much for smaller hubs). All other settings really don't make much of a difference, imo.

Be mindful that the framerates displayed in every comparison are only for that specific situation. For example when it comes to hbao vs hbao+ I've found that at some places it stayed nicely at 60fps, however if I turned my camera 180 degrees it would dip into the low 40s. And this was inside the (main ?) base.

[TheArsonator]

You are a lifesaver. I was looking everywhere for side-by-side comparisons.

[godoflemmings]

Wow, I was honestly expecting to look at the comments here and see it filled with stuff along the lines of "Great graphics can't save it from shit animations." Thanks for proving me wrong and restoring some of my faith, folks :)

[Hansberch]

Mass Effect makes absolutely no visual difference in game except for during gameplay. What's most important is the resolution and the Anti Aliasing, so you cannot see things from a far so weird.
Other than that, i used to play on low with my old card and now i can play on high i hardly feel the difference. I prefer the FPS over graphic in this case.

[actualkaren]

Just me or do the shadows still look like crap on highest setting? Some cutscenes look so bad that I had to pause and check twice to make sure the settings didnt somehow get lowered

[TheRedAzuki]

Wow, even on low the game looks fairly amazing. That's a pretty fantastic job.

[synbrainstorm]

Very good video- Proper breakdown of each setting.

[shikXI]

thanks for sharing the side bye side comparison.

[EterTurbo]

Great video, just what i was looking for

[teejmorrison]

Really could have picked some better spots for your tests. You did post-processing on a scene with 60% rocks... and the lighting seen was mostly on wall with no visible lights.

Appreciate the video though.

[AintPopular]

Good video and channel. Showing fps is really helpful

[gamez]

This kind of video is really informative. Great work and please do keep it up!

[Bazools]

Well so it's safe to assume that u can run this game beautifuly at medium / high settings at 1080p and get a stable 60fps and not get artifacts or bad AA. I tried several settings tweaks during my early access and confirmed that in my specific situation i didn't need a beefy ass pc to get beautiful gameplay at 1080p 60fps.

[GigiKent]

Really great comparison. Thanks a lot for your efforts!

[SandyTheTryhard]

Glad other people can appreciate this games beauty everygame has its faults even The witcher 3 which is all im seeing people talk about
