In the interest of fairness, it's worth pointing out that HBAO+ does trade some long range AO shadowing for improved short and mid-range detail (noticeable when comparing HBAO+ to HMSSAO), but in our opinion this is a worthwhile exchange given the greater visibility of game elements in the foreground. Outdoors, HBAO+ offers similar benefits, adding natural shadowing to tufts of grass and other pieces of foliage. You'll see richer contact shadows around the smallest of objects and details, improvements to shadows rendered by HMSSAO and SSBC, and much more. Subtle details that previously lacked shadowing are layered from the world around them with HBAO+, and the accuracy and fidelity of all existing AO shadowing is vastly improved.ДЇor exemplification of these benefits take a close look at the interactive comparisons below. A higher-quality technique, HBAO+ leverages the capabilities of modern PCs to render more detailed, more precise Ambient Occlusion shadowing, enhancing virtually every scene in the entire game.

Of late however HMSSAO has fallen out of favor following the introduction of the newer and better Ubisoft-developed SSBC, seen on PC in Far Cry 4 and Rainbow Six Siege, and in most of Ubisoft's current-generation console games, including Watch Dogs 2.ДЇor the PC release of Watch Dogs 2, we've worked with Ubisoft to implement the game's third AO option, HBAO+. The first, HMSSAO, is a Ubisoft-developed modification of SSAO, seen in the original Watch Dogs under a different name, and as 'SSAO' in Assassin's Creed Syndicate and other Ubisoft titles. In Watch Dogs 2, players can choose from three Ambient Occlusion techniques. Without Ambient Occlusion scenes look flat and unrealistic, and objects appear as if they're floating. The AO technique used and the quality of the implementation affects the shadowing's accuracy, and whether new shadows are formed when the level of occlusion is low.

Below, we've thoroughly examined each and every option, demonstrating their image quality with interactive screenshot comparisons, and their performance with benchmarks.ДЄdditionally, we've tested overall game performance on many GeForce GTX 900 and 10-Series GPUs, revealing the framerates you'll receive at Ultra settings at the three most common gaming resolutions.ДЄmbient Occlusion (AO) adds contact shadows where two surfaces or objects meet, and where an object blocks light from reaching another nearby game element. Watch Dogs 2 includes 19 options that affect game performance and graphical fidelity, in addition to the resolution, field of view and VSync options PC gamers expect to see in games.
