http://www.anandtech.com/show/8714/benchmarked-lords-of-the-fallen Seems really intensive at maximum settings but I guess that's to be expected given how good is the game's graphical fidelity
The game doesn't look tat impressive graphically. It's on par with games like Dark Souls. Performs really well on medium end PCs as well.
I don't know, have you seen how it looks like with all the Nvidia Gameworks features? On maximum settings at 1440p the game is stunningly good. Doesn't have SLI support though, so that's a problem on the game's part.
It doesn't look THAT good compared to some Next Gen games. It looks equal to Dark Souls, which isn't that good considering Dark Souls 2 is what...a year old? It's still a great looking game considering the studio is new, and it's a great start from the devs. Dark Souls finally has some competition, which will improve both series in the long run.
It's my personal opinion, but it might be because my gaming is limited to what I prefer to play graphically and this game definitely hits the mark as being far more graphic-savvy than many of the other popularizing current games on the market.
