However, there is a problem inherent to this design. Remember a few months ago when they made ultra settings require a 2GB graphics card? They literally shot themselves in the foot and I willI personally have set Votan's to the following settings - minimum FPS is 55, minimum draw distance is 20, and my graphics settings are 'ultra' at 4k.
