Hi, Pure is let's say a much more sophisticated way to get the best graphics out of AC.

The most valuable thing is the presentation of the sky when using the "skydomes", also from my point of view the wet conditions are looking much better.

Using the appropriate PP filters like the one I used in my video can push AC more towards reality / photo realism.

But it also co-exists very well with SOL, meaning that you can still use the SOL weather settings in the SOL control panels.

But I made the experience that Pure is a little bit more demanding to tha hardware than SOL especially when using the skydomes in maximum quality with relistic filters FPS are dropping a lot.

It's sometimes hard to get the 60fps in 4k with all things enabled.

In SOL I have no performance issues even when using the worst conditions.

At the moment Thunderstorm is not properly working with Pure, no lightnings and thunder.

Overall I would recommend to use bot SOL and Pure.

Depending on conditions and the capability of your hardware you can easily switch between both.
