Nvidia and AMD graphics comparison.

I felt this was worthy of it's own thread since beta for battlefront is down. It's not a rant either.
Any way I came across this video and I felt something is very wrong with Nvidias image quality.

Look at the rocks and ground at 3:30.

You have to pause to really see the differences. The main thing I noticed was level of detail on the stones and grit beside the little stream at 3:30.

this has been done before, having used both in games like bf i found iq on amd slightly better on bright outdoor areas and nvidia seemed to have the edge in darker indoor areas but nothing in it to realy get to worked up about as it was just nit picking

It doesn't look like there's nothing in it to me. I'm looking at that and it's night and day.

Almost literally.

To do a fair comparison you're going to need static lighting or turn lighting off completely, assuming it's not possible to set the same time of day. Fury X definitely looks more contrasty (less dull) in that last scene but then there is more light hitting everything and highlighting them.

If you pause the video at 2:16 and 3:15 you'll see that the 980Ti side looks brighter and less washed out, different lighting conditions are being used throughout so it's a bit misguided to focus on a single scene and claim one GPU has better IQ than the other.

The textures at 3:15 look horrendous on the 980 in that scene. It's a little brighter yes but overall image quality looks very poor. Again the textures on the rocks and on the ground look a bit xbox 360ish. The gun looks blurry too.

I'm gonna swing a guess that like the earlier builds of BF4 just after release some graphic settings aren't sticking and/or not reflecting what settings are actually used - which was fixed in a branch newer than SWBF is using.

Maybe. My resolution setting is very stubborn and goes back down by itself sometimes.
