because it's a GPU post-processing effect that applies first, before more intensive GPU post-processing effects and some CPU ones
AA is the literal first, followed by DoF and motion blur, then all the color and light ones
shadows, SSAO, and fog etc. get applied last
it makes shadows much easier on your GPU
tbh, shadows are like 90% of the intensive processing, ignoring stuff like path tracing
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 tbh, shadows are like 90% of the intensive processing, ignoring stuff like path tracing
at this point every game i just run ultra everything shadows high
Indiana Jones is weird Max, I've never seen better shadow maps
but then with full path tracing, it all goes to shit
yup
I feel like shadows are also barely impactful
bad volumetric fog is the worst performance drain
but even slightly high-rez shadows are just not worth it
people have forgotten that completely
forced perspective and shadows is 100000x better
than "realistic" lighting
I feel like Witcher 4 is going to be the game a lot of people realize that on
since it's moving off the Red Engine and is instead UE5 slop
W3 had such great lighting, everything was fire-lit and the sun cast these really warm scenes when it rose/set
moonlight was cool
there's just no way that's going to work with modern raytracing
Replying to legorhin #jazardly I guess shadows is closest ambient occlusion here
it's strange that you've had performance issues in games recently, that game doesn't strike me as one that looks super demanding

the weirdest part to me is they changed her VA in all languages
if it was just the ENG one, they could cope and say it's because the current VA is "too old" or w/e

whens joseph andersons witcher 4 vid
I was actually wondering if he killed himself when it was announced
idfk what he's doing
I have to assume he's grooming girls in his Discord all day
I genuinely can't think of why else he's thrown away his very lucrative internet career on Twitch/YouTube
you know, if I called his kid dying, I feel like I'm calling this one too
he's going to have grooming allegations drop next year
lock it in
now that they're all out, we can watch the 4-5 that are interesting
oh, actually more interesting gaming news
