Do some graphics options look better on lower settings?

Are there any graphics options that you believe look better on Low or Medium, rather than High or Ultra?

Personally, I find that Ambient Occlusion looks better on medium. When on High/Ultra, it creates this weird "halo" effect. It's not as noticeable with it set lower.

Good question!  I go with ambient occlusion on low, as it looks too dark for me otherwise, and can cause other effects as V1 says.

Motion blur is off now as well. It adds nothing if you can hold a higher frame rate.

I ran with clouds on high for quite a while, as ultra looked too lumpy, but now I run at 4k I have them on ultra as it seems to match the screen resolution.

Agreed, looks much better on medium.

Here with a 2x 43” 4K front view clouds look better on high than on ultra.. With Ultra the clouds shadows on themselves look very grainy.
