Middle-earth: Shadow of War – Ultra vs. Medium vs. Lowest | PC | 4K UHD Graphics Comparison

Take another journey into Middle-earth with the recently released Middle-earth: Shadow of War with a PC graphics comparison test at 4k. PixelPerfect compares the game using the Ultra, Medium and Lowest presets.

We're going on an adventure as the open world action sequel Middle-earth: Shadow of War has finally arrived, 3 years after the original Shadow of Mordor proved to be a titan when it came to running the game at 4k. Now that the sequel is here, just how is it running on PC at 4K? Thanks to our sister channel PixelPerfect we get a comparison between the Ultra, Medium and Lowest presets at a full 4k resolution. Watch as we slay countless Orcs and see how the PC version holds up and more importantly, what the differences are between the 3 presets (if any). If you want to see how the game performs in terms of FPS, we ran a benchmark at 20:48 and you can see the tables on how performance is.

Note: Due to YouTube compression the video may not appear as crisp as it would be for you. This is due to the way YouTube handles video uploads.
