Switch to the ‘Program settings’ tab to apply settings specifically for Metal Gear. To enable HBAO+, open the Nvidia Control Panel and go to the “Manage 3D settings” page. The lift cart near the left side of the screen is the most obvious example, where ‘extra high’ goes overboard.
HBAO+: Notice how the HBAO+ shadows are overall a bit lighter and much cleaner.
HBAO+: look at how flatter and more plasticky the world looks with no AO.Įxtra high AO vs. Nvidia has some comparison widgets of HBAO+ compared to no ambient occlusion and the game’s ‘extra high setting. MGS5 has ‘high’ and ‘extra high’ ambient occlusion options, but you can inject an even better ambient occlusion solution through the Nvidia Control Panel, if you have an Nvidia graphics card. Ambient occlusion adds shadowing around the edges of 3D objects, and generally adds a great sense of depth and solidity to game worlds.
