This setting is powerful in open world games like Just Cause 3, given the relatively long viewing distances within the game. Lower LOD quality will scale-back mesh complexity, texture resolutions at greater distances, and other detail settings as a means to increase FPS. The LOD factor scales overall object quality and pop-in of objects as the camera distance changes. LOD Factor: “LOD” is an initialism for Level of Detail. Tessellation increases apparent depth by driving triangle count up, thus increasing detail of the relevant surface, and can be used to make waves or ripples seem more like a fluid. Water Tessellation: Tessellation is the division of triangles into more triangles, a graphics technique that adds “bumps” and “valleys” to textures or surfaces. Water Detail ties directly into this, but doesn't necessarily have profound impact on FPS during normal play (there is a constant, small hit that we've found – about 4.2% – but nothing big until you're close to or interacting with the water). Water Detail: Just Cause uses WaveWorks, an nVidia GameWorks development tool that increases realism of physical water effects.

Higher texture resolutions will increase VRAM consumption and GPU load, but produces an appearance of greater depth and grittiness on object surfaces. Texture Quality: Texture resolution is governed by this setting, which scales from Low to Very High. Anisotropic filtering mostly eliminates this and is generally known to have near-0 performance impact. As the road's dotted line texture distances itself from the camera, the texture can become blurry toward the vanishing point as a result of the texture's application to the surface. The common example is to take a road with a dotted white line down the center, extending off to a vanishing point. V-Sync is generally recommended off.Īnisotropic Level: Anisotropic Filtering (found in our game dictionary) is a texture filtration process that aids in texture application to surfaces at non-oblique angles. Vertical Sync: Best known as “ V-Sync.” This synchronizes the framerate to the display's vertical refresh rate, capping the FPS to 60, 120, or 144, depending on the monitor.
