Graphics guide

[Karel]

Ok, so I was wondering something.
It's about graphic options. I don't really understand everything. ( I know the French terms, but the menu in French is a good joke )
So. I know what render method, screen resolution, Anti alisaing, Monitor gamma, shadow quality texture detail shader quality HDR mode stands for.

But I don't know what are these option: Auto exposure ( when ticked, -1% to the estimated performances score) So I guess it makes things a bit uglier to win some FPSes. Am I right?
This option too: " Instancing " . I don't know what the hell it is and it does not affects my perfs, according to the score.

Grass density: When I turn to 0%, It adds 4% at the perfs. What does it stands for?
( I know what is realistic shadows on plants and tree detail )
How does the tree degrade distance works? Does it means that a biggest value makes trees prettier in distance or the contrary?

Character detail/character shadow: I know what it does.
Number of corpses, rag dolls and blood stains too.
Every other option except the last one.
" Fast water reflections "
What does it stands for?


I'm aiming maximum quality, as my computer can handle it very well.


EDIT: I just realized that putting something to low makes the value increarses.... I don't get it, when the value is high, it does not mean that the computer can't handle it because it reaches over 100%, or ....?

Well you can see it for yourself put grass density 0% and then 100% and see what changes i think it's how many bushes/garsh quality +number there is in a battle not sure though. Water reflections when 100% = best water quality  it's like more realistic reflection from sun etc..

The computer can do it for you, search for "Custom" in Option menu and change that to "Maximum Quality" or something like that. About water reflections, if you check that box, the water quality will be weak, let it unchecked for better quality.

Thanks.
What I used to see in other games is when you set everything "very high " it's still in 800*600, no AA and all...
