Overall, users praise the graphics for their impressive quality and enhancements, noting significant improvements in visuals and stability. The application offers excellent rendering capabilities, with options for post-processing that enhance the visual experience without compromising performance. Many find the graphics to be stunning, even when settings are adjusted down.
“Stunning features, wonderful graphics and performance.”
“Post-processing is a nice touch and improves visuals notably without oversampling to death ... but you can do that too (I do both - looks great and very legible - see my specs at bottom).”
“So my question is, will the camera view of my keyboard improve enough for me to read the keys on the new graphics card, or am I just screwed because the resolution on the Vive camera is that low.”
“Graphics were turned down a little bit, but it still looked great and it worked!”
“The graphics rendered by this application on my hardware is tremendous and thus overwhelmingly satisfying.”
