After years of waiting, 2K Sports has finally seen fit to grapple with the PC community and release WWE 2K15 on our beloved platform. Up until now sweaty grappling has been but a figment of our imaginations, but now we get the full current-generation console experience, complete with the presentation and visual overhaul.

Obviously one of the key strengths of PC gaming is in its customisation, meaning we can, hopefully, get WWE 2K15 looking and performing exactly how we want it to, depending on what rig it's running on. Here we're going to look at all of those visual tweaks that can be made to WWE 2K15, as well as the visual difference between minimum and maximum graphics settings. 

                     

                                                    WWE 2K15 Launcher Settings

WWE 2K15 comes with a graphics settings launcher, something which is always handy if you set the graphics options too high and the menus become a stuttery mess. Simply quit out, boot the game up, and dial the settings down here. The graphics options here are fairly limited, and are also identical to all of the options you'll find in-game, which can be seen below.

While there's not masses here to tweak, there is enough here to provided significant performance gains if you're struggling to run WWE 2K15. In preliminary testing, dialling down the options can more than double the frame rate. 

What is there to tweak is fairly standard fare, offering basic options like enabling shadows, vsync, depth of field, and antialiasing options. Perhaps the most interesting option is Audience Density. This is a dial from 0-100%, with 100% being a full crowd and 0% being literally empty. This has a big impact on performance, so the option's there to have a completely empty arena if you're desperate to get WWE 2K15 running

Audience Tessellation is a feature which will improve bump mapping and smooth the character models out, making them appear more natural, but it's unlikely you'll be looking at the finer details mid-grapple.

It should be pretty obvious which one is which with these, the image without a crowd is the lowest possible graphics settings, while the image on the right is the maximum graphics options for WWE 2K15.

 There's a fair difference between minimum and maximum settings, even taking into account the missing crowd. Shadows make a huge difference; everything looks a lot more static on Low but much more likelike on High. In terms of the actual wrestler models themesleves though, these remain pretty much the same across the board. Sure, MSAA makes a difference to image quality, and shadows are always nice, but they still look decent enough even when WWE 2K15 is at Low graphics settings.
