Someone else feels Ultra in Witcher 3 is almost the same as High, but sometimes it feels a little off.

I've been using Blood and Wine for Witcher 3. Some folks believe that "High" options with proper post-processing effects look superior to "Ultra" settings with identical effects. I've set Background Characters, Terrain Quality, and Grass Density to "Ultra." HBAO+ is on, AA is enabled, and Bloom is active. The textures appear less shimmery and with fewer aliasing issues, and the viewing distance remains consistent. Performance has improved to the high 70s to mid 80s now, compared to the 60s to mid 70s with Ultra. I suspect texture quality is the main issue—Ultra tends to show more noticeable aliasing. Overall, High settings give a better visual experience.
I focus mainly on surface details. At extreme levels they create a glowing effect, while at higher intensities they appear identical without any sparkle.
