I see the difference fairly easily. In motion though it may be less noticeable, except the ground will look worse as it's fairly uniform.

Guess it depends on the performance uplift. I'm sure at 4k you would definitely notice any difference outside of LOD and will give the biggest performance uplift.

There's a "capital 3" in the article, aka £DMARK.

Nah. That's just because 3DMARK is pay to win. The more money you spend on your PC, the higher the score.

The typo has bee fixed.

You know this is the most accurate statement ever and yet nobody complains! ^_^

Have to agree with you there especially on the full size image, it looks awful there. This is more like texture resolution scaling rather than shading its that bad in places.
Look at the leaves in the water, they are clearly that in the left hand image but they are just yellowy/brown splodges in the right. Same with the bark textures on any but the very front trees, its almost retro graphics in places, no wonder you get a performance boost.
This actually looks like a comparison from a previous gen game to a high def remake

Because this is an extreme example to test performance characteristics, quite unrepresentative of how it would be used in games.
