The resolution for shadows will be low, and the resolution for Level-Of-Detail (LOD) distance and textures will also be reduced. Standard quality This is the standard quality setting for a PC that meets the recommended specifications. High quality This setting will activate the high end graphical features incorporated into FINAL FANTASY XV WINDOWS EDITION, such as NVIDIA® Turf Effects™, NVIDIA® HairWorks™ and NVIDIA® Flow™, etc. The resolution of shadows and textures, as well as the LOD distance will also increase under this setting. A graphics card with a significant amount of VRAM is required to use it.
