And thats NOT just related to this game, the developers of the effect warn that it will cost at least 35% performance hit..and they were not kidding 
All the "MOD" is doing is turning off this particular lighting effect..its not altering or tweaking the game graphics engine at all.. It would be like a mod that turned off FSAA.. |
and which LOD's do you think "SSOA" has a natural hit in performance on, complex LOD with large textures/normal maps thus have small texel size and more normals to be perturbed and more chances of more pixels being occluded to various degrees thus require more sampling?
