High VS Ultra Challenge: Can you actually tell a difference?

B looked much better, I'm confident

B definitely

i just found this video because i was with a huge doubt about playing red dead redepmtion 2 on high or ultra settings, my friends told me that in high settings it looked almost the same than ultra and i didn't wanted to believe that, i was with that doubt because on ultra settings my pc run the game at 63-70 fps and sometimes in very specific scenarios it goes down to 37 fps, now that i'm watching this video i think i'm gonna play on high settings, i tried to decieve myself the whole video but i really can't find any difference, i just tried to guess, i also read a ver accurated commentaroy about how ultra settings are meant for screenshots and high for gaming and i think it is true, thanks for the video dude, i know it's two years old and i really don't comment any video i watch usually but this really opened my eyes, new suscriber

thank you

the easiest way to check is, high settings usually more blurry than ultra, tho it depends if DoF, TAA, and anisotropic filtering value, but for shadow, texture and LoD it's pretty noticeable tho the fps tank is much more noticable lol

I got it right 9/10 but only because I was guessing that the side that was stuttering was the Ultra side 😊

1440p ultra vs 4k medium settings? Which one looks better?

People are saying shadows and lighting and ground textures but it all looked same to me except the table fan in rdr2 had shadow in B, such subtle details are possible in ultra settings lol.

Please do a 1080 vs 1444 vs 4k

Didn't even notice A and B on screen, let alone the difference in visual fidelity.

with my rtx 4070ti, i see ultra as not stupid, besides you bought a game which graphics had a huge impact on, so i would max out my game or not buy it

man i thought b was ultra lol

B is ultra in motion

I mean i can see the difference between High and Ultra but its really not the worth the frame lose

Got all of them right lol

I could tell on the first one involving motion because the frames weren't as smooth on one. Other than that, I can't tell. My hardware is capable of running these games at ultra but I'm going to turn stuff down to high anyway. It lowers temps and power consumption as well as fan noise.

To tell the difference look at the lighting and reflections look where the light is most intense and youl see a difference in how good it is. Idk you can just tell by the way it is

the fps was easy

RDR2 look at the shadows on the counter to the left of the register, thats what led me to see the difference.

I TOUGHT THAT HIGH IS ULTRA AND ULTRA IS HIGH :)) FOR BOTH GAMES , STILL AND VIDEO :))

I got 4/4. Guess I have to get a 4090 now

i see Ultra more blurry than middle-high.
In most Games is Ultra a little bit blurry.

On a 24 inch monitor no, on a 65 inch tv, yes

RDR 2 is maybe the only game which needs to set textures quality at ultra because below it is too blurry sadly but you're right

It was really hard to tell but I got the red dead redemption question right, though I had a 50/50 chance 🤷‍♀Gonna play on high from now since the difference is so small

The only time you should choose ultra is if you're getting steady 80+fps (unless its a competitive shooter then 80 is on the low end of what you'll be aiming for). Otherwise going for high will always be your best option.

This is fine..*gets RTX 4090*

I’d say use ultra settings if you have a display connected larger than 42 inches

The big difference appears between the high and ultra in (texture)

some stuff like texture quality or maybe shadow distance, can have noticeable difference during the gameplay, but other settings dont really matter a lot if u dont specifically pay attention to details and compare

But it's completely necessary that I can make out the weathering on the advertising hoarding I shoot past at 200mph whilst looking at something else!

high/60 since several years. Best configuration without a doubt

The framerate i can't know, my monitor is 60hz

It was easy to spot all the ultra if you game everyday. Stuff like hair, shadows and ambient occlusion is way different

Thanks for letting us know that ultra settings are most of the time stupid. But i think a lot of us are using "ultra" because it is giving us the comfort, assurance and satisfaction that our rigs are still powerful enough to run it in ultra.

I got softr both wrong,fuck

God loves you ❤,.

Depends on the game and also how optimised it is. I have no problem bumping everything up to Ultra if my fps can stay above 60, and not be a stuttering mess. If there is only a 10 fps difference between high and ultra, I will usually stick to ultra if my frame rate is still good. It's when the fps is 20 + difference compared to high vs ultra that it isn't worth it.

bro I got every shot good, but yeah I get the point. I mean it cost almost nothing to add ultra settings so why not just do it for pumped pc ?

I got them all right but I feel like that's just my experience in 3D software talking, I know what certain features can be expensive and what to look for. Even then, it was hard to tell!

i would say Ultra at 1080p is doable for years to come with a high end GPU unless it's tha RTX 4000 series with tha stupid 16pin power connector and there's been new reports where even if tha connector is plugged in all tha way, it still burns

rdr 2 has a solid diffrence between high and ultra all the visible changes ive seen is like wood and the ground
