can't see any difference between High and Extra high on Metal Gear Solid V

whiteknights · Jan 4, 2017

hello guys.. I'm playing Metal Gear Solid V. when i set Post processing at High i get constant 60FPS, and when i set it at Extra High i get average 50FPS . but the wired thing is that i can't notice any difference between High settings and ultra settings, i actually notice a bit improvement on High more than ultra, its a bit clear and smoother than ultra.. so what for is the extra 10 fps if there is no difference at all?.

Sometimes the things that change with Ultra to High are not significant enough to be noticed. Shadows or view distance. The way light reflects off of objects. The smoothness and texture quality usually isnt largely affected by going from High to Ultra at least not enough that most people can clearly see the difference.

I would recommend going with whatever you think looks good that gives you the best frame rates. Smooth game play really goes a long way in helping games look better.

Not really a game I'm too familiar with, but there's likely improvements in your peripheral vision - so, while it's taking more hardware power to render these (hence the FPS impact), it's not exactly in your line of sight and therefor, you see no difference.

There is but it is a VERY VERY small difference...

As you can see here there is a huge ON / OFF Difference, Lets say the phases on the post processing is only an amplification of this effect by 10% on each phase... So in conclusion The change is SO TINY that it is actually difficult to notice... So you better keep the 10 FPS... But now... if the difference its something huge like a 30% (this means 3 phases) you will instantly notice...

You will image improvements as you bump up the specs until:

a) Your reach the limit of your GFX card performance and it can't keep up, or
b) Your monitor may not be able to display the color accuracy needed to distinguish the difference. or
c) Your reach the limit of your visual acuity

Sometimes I have to look at reviews where they have to take still frame shots and point out for example that the moss on the rock in the lower right hand corner has more detail or the shadows inside the cave .... blah blah blah. It's kind hard to notice such details when you have bad guys / monsters trying to toast your toon . And while I would say that if you do not see any benefit, drop the settings ... I would suggest that you play for afew days with them at the higher settings as sometines it's one of the "Ya don't notice till it's gone" kinda things.

thanks guys for helping.. I'm thinking that it could be because of the 10+FPS.. if i was getting constant 60 FPS at ultra like I'm getting at high, then i would notice the difference. but since I'm only getting around average 50FPS at ultra i can't compare fairly. dunno if I'm right..

thank you... so this is mean that i may notice a huge difference during a certain times on the game, but during other times i won't notice?.. also i think if i turned Post processing completely off i would notice the difference, but I'm just comparing between High and ultra.

Yes and also not... Much depends on your Monitor Colour ranges to get a noticeable difference and the quality of Post processing. If you have it OFF lets say its 0% . ON in the highest one will be 100% . Think on each "phase" as a percentual improvement. The medium (50%) settings allways use it as a reference between 0% and 100% and its probably the most noticeable impact between ON and OFF aswell.

thank you.. i have Asus IPS 1920x1080p Monitor.. Colors are much better than TN monitors.. but i set it on "Night vision mode" .. maybe thats the reason, not sure..
