So without further ado, we present a selection of comparisons of the game's opening scenes, captured at medium, high and ultra texture settings with all other settings ramped up as high as they go. Graphics cards with 6GB of RAM are few and far between - limited edition versions of cards like the Radeon HD 7970, R9 290X, GTX 780 and 780 Ti were released with the requisite RAM, but we suspect that the majority of people able to utilise the high-end art in Shadow of Mordor will be owners of Nvidia's GTX Titan series GPUs - exactly what we used for our comparison. UPDATE 2/10/14 7:39am: There's a direct link to the patch available and you can get it here.Ĭuriously, the option for ultra textures is still present in the game, even without the pack installed - it simply defaults to high quality art instead. The optional texture pack is a 3.7GB download. If there are any problems with the last part, restarting the Steam client should sort it out. You need to access this Steam URL, hit the launch or install buttons, then when it errors out, head into your Steam client, right-click on Shadow of Mordor in your Steam library, select DLC, tick the HD texture pack and then force an update (or verify the files). It's an option that restricts the game's absolute high-end experience to a tiny minority of PC gamers - so the question is, to what extent are the graphics compromised for everyone else? And how does the console version fit in?įirst of all, it's worth pointing out that as of this writing, actually gaining access to the texture pack itself is an involved, convoluted procedure that we only discovered thanks to the legwork done by German site,.
The PC version of Monolith's Shadow of Mordor features an optional, ultra-HD texture pack that requires a graphics card with a colossal 6GB of memory for best performance.
