The Witcher 2 Performance Review

Graphics Options
Here is a screenshot of the graphics options menu.
We will now present some screenshots comparing the four different Configuration sets.
Low Medium High Ultra
The Ultra setting is only supposed to improve the shadows, lighting and draw distance. There is no different in textures between these two. By default, Ultra setting enables "Ubersampling" which is supposedly an image quality mode reserved for "Uber high spec systems". In the above screenshots, the Uber sampling was disabled.
Here is a comparison between UberSampling enabled and disabled:
No UberSampling UberSampling
If you look at the two images closely, one can notice that some of the textures actually look sharper without UberSampling. Take a look at the chimney sort of structure on the left of the screen as an example. On the other hand that metal straps on the pipe to the left look more crisp with UberSampling. I am not sure why one would want to enable this setting, especially since it is a huge performance killer, as we will see on the next page.
