What Graphics Do You Play On?

I have a question:

How much more demand does it place on a computer if, for example you change all the effects from low to ultra?
I appreciate it might be an odd question, but from one extreme to the other I'm curious to know how much harder a computer would be working.

It will be a lot (big difference). Especially when you had laptop mode on to off.

My settings are custom but it's pretty much Ultra but with reflections and visual effects set to Medium cuz I don't think they look that different if set on high anyways.

everything on high but lighting is very high on the laptop... everything on ultra on the desktop.

Ultra here but I believe I have post proc. off. I can't remember and I'm not in game atm

Ultra, but I also use the awesome effects of Reshade lol. It's pretty fun to tweak. I usually turn off the game's post-processing so it can fully utilize it. <3

Ultra

Most of my settings are High - Very High. I personally don't notice much of a difference between those and Ultra, so I keep it at that.

Everything low except the view distance and sims which are set on high and very high respectively.
I don't have a very good computer yet. Although I want to rebuild my computer with high specs so I can enjoy games (thus includes TS4) on high settings. :smile:

Custom. Everything is set to high and very high with "vertical sync & uncompressed sims texture" on and
"post processing effects & laptop mode" off

I have everything exactly the same as Simasaurus.

I have those settings too, except for resolution, because I haven't bought better monitor yet, like I want. :'(
(still stuck at 1920X1080. I dream of having a higher res, like my older son...)

Ultra settings for any game you play? :o
I would love to play Ark SE at Epic (term they use, rather than Ultra) settings, but can't, because frame-rates drop to 30s/20s
(depending on map, and area) :'(
I have Ark because
(1) my sons nagged me to play it with them, last year.
(2) I got it bundled with Scorched Earth expansion
($17 total - earlier in year, during a super sale B) )
(3) I got a bit hooked on it's sandbox-style of game play, and enjoy the building, open world, rafts through water
(or swim if you are crazy, lol)
And I love how single player can be tweaked to suit play style. It's more than just dinos. :)

I am hoping my settings for Sims can stay where they are, since I am seeing more comments of issues/lag, etc, from those with good PCs. :o :/
It has me a bit concerned for the future of Sims 4 when it's done - with everything loaded.
I don't have the best PC, and sometimes I get so darn tired of relearning more things/updating every couple of years.
(it can get exhausting, because I do it myself, with help from husband and son actually putting the pieces into case, while I stick to the software, tech parts. It's safer for me, and everyone else that way, lol).
