Yes, noob question. Apologies
This is something I've been wondering about for a while. I have the super water disabled because honestly, I don't notice a difference in the water's appearance when I *do* have it enabled. My laptop can handle it, no problem, I just don't see the point.
So do any of you on here - who are much smarter than I - know what exactly super water does? Or what it looks like or contributes to the graphics?
This is simply a silly question I've been curious about for quite some time. lol

The top image shows a little bit of color in the reflection. I also think it appears slightly more detailed. *shrugs* I did my best to get the same angle in each shot.

I turned mine on and the water has a really glossy look to it.

Thank you both for the insight on this graphics option! Makes more sense now. And the pics definitely help, I really appreciate it

The only setting I don't have maxed out is High Detail Lots. I've had Reflection Quality set to Mirrors & Super Water since the day my first gaming PC was put together. Yes, I am spoiled now.
