Given the announcement just made, here’s the link if you’ve missed it:
maybe no one will care any more, but I’ve made a comparison video showing post SU5+Hotfix with/without LOD increases per @aerovin88’s original post. So the video compares my normal ultra settings with LOD 200 for both terrain and objects v LOD 400 for terrain and objects and also with film grain and colorgrading set to zero.
This shows the FPS impact of the extended LODs (I’m assuming film grain and colorgrading don’t impact FPS, but I may be wrong on that). Overall the FPS impact for me is around 15-20 although it seems to reduce towards the end of the clip where we head out of the PG area to maybe around 10. Having said that, I’m still getting north of 50 FPS a lot of the time. However I do notice a few more brief stutters - they are brief, and it smooths out quickly afterwards, but they are definitely there.
See what you think (HD version still processing):
