No Ambient Occlusion = HMBAO
Low = Vanilla medium optimized by me
Medium = Vanilla High optimized by me
High = Vanilla Ultra optimized by me (recommended for Ultra textures)
Ultra = Uber Ultra optimized by me (Heavy with Ultra textures)
Graphics settings recommendations
Ultra graphics + Ultra textures settings specs = 4GB 780TI or 290X or higher recommended for this settings
High graphics + Ultra textures settings specs = GTX670 or equivalent for a stutter free experience
I believe that you may now be able to turn off DOF and still see it during
cinematics
Beaware that you may play with Low and medium whitout any major lost in visual quality.Also know that FPS will go down
when using Ultra textures. Know that after playing on ultra for some time
the game will create a cache to improve the texture loading. This will get
rid of the stuttering after you run WD on Ultra a few times.
Important mod Information
This version will be totally tweakable meaning. You may choose Low, Medium, High,
Ultra and Custom or even mix a match between those settings. These settings have
been tweaked and optimized for better quality and performance. They are much better
than vanilla settings and you get all the eye candy. This mod include modified high
and ultra textures. meaning you will see some ultra textures when playing with high
textures and you WILL BE ABLE to play on Ultra with minimal or no stuttering nevertheless
I would recommend you to put the graphics settings on high or medium when playing with
ultra textures due to an FPS hit. you might be surprise how well it looks. My high graphics
settings are superior than vanillas Ultra settings and much more optimised for quality
and performance. Same goes to my medium setting and low. The ultra settings
are much more superior to vanillas Ultra settings and therefore quite taxing on
your system, nevertheless it has been optimized as much as possible so you can achieve
good performance.
Only the HQ mods feature the modified textures and tweakable settings.
Only Ultra settings have been optimized on The Atmosphere mods
version 1,2,3 and 3.1
