[Dev] Overtaxation of PC Hardware

It may be slightly lower but i dont remember the pop-in/blurry texture distance being as bad as XI. Hell i dont think it was even noticeable in XI. One step forwards 2 steps back.

pop-in? Blurry Texture? Are you referring to when you get closer to certain landscapes?

I funnily enough have some examples at hand:

Thought so. This is somewhat realistic in that you really can not make out fine details with the human eye at certain distances but this also saves GPU power by not fully rendering everything in Fine Detail within Five miles. If the game always rendered everything in fine detail, well....the minimum settings would sky rocket. O_o

Oh, and I have never seen it quite as blurry and rough as those screenshots. So either this points to a config issue or a card issue...

But still most games seem to pull it off without being hugely distracting. XIV fails horribly at this.
