In game Quality settings differences

In game Quality settings

All that ultra testing got us wondering, how much quality do we loose ? Ultra mode - Here 4xAA - 16xAF - HBAO and all post processing effects are enabled - screenshot below.

High mode - In this mode AA will be disabled yet the rest remains active + anisotropic filtering is set at 6X- this will massively increase performance. (We'll show that on the next pages).

Medium mode - Below a screenshot taken in medium mode. We only have 4xAF left, and HBAO switched to SSAO. The textures are probably a little lighter and some post processing effects are disabled now.

Low mode - And then blow the LOW quality settings mode, only 2xAF, no AA no SSAO and no post processing effects are left. The performance benefit will be great.

Now these are scaled down JPEGS meaning you loose a lot of detail. But even at full size, with the distinction of AA aside, the overall game quality remains severely nice but sure, we do see hard shows, lack DOF, see less textures. But let's have a look at that.
