Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare Graphics Settings Options

POST BY ADMIN

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare's launch has been a bit of a strange one this year. The promised Day Zero editions essentially amounted to CoD: AW coming out a day early, which means it's available to download right now on Steam, despite officially releasing tomorrow. As per any Call of Duty release, Activision's latest Hollywood-style blockbuster came with some hefty system requirements to get Sledgehammer Games' debut look its finest. Despite Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare's terrifying system requirements, there's an absolute stack of customisable video options to play around with.

On first impressions Advanced Warfare certainly doesn't look like a hastily thrown together PC port, this time around we look to be getting the real deal. If you've just splashed out on the latest and greatest graphics card, or you're skating dangerously near the minimum requirements for CoD:AW, then these video options and settings screens show you what sort of graphical bells and you whistles you can play with when you boot up Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.

As you can see there's absolutely stacks here to mess around with, particularly for those who've got the likes of a GeForce GTX 450 or a Radeon HD 5870. The first things you're going to want to tweak are the extremely superfluous items like Bullet Impacts and reducing the Dynamic Lights, while of course HBAO+ and in fact most of the Post Process settings will be heavy going. It's also best to turn off Shadow Cache, both Cache Sun Shadow Maps and Cache Sport Shadow Maps, because these are causing a number of problems, including over-riding to Low quality textures, so we'd expect an update to sort that out. 

One thing to bear in mind is that fiddling around with the Texture Quality and Texture Resolution in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare will force the entire level to reload right from the start, so for your sanity it's probably best tweaking at the beginning of a campaign level.
