hmm i gues i'm glad my comptuer isnt' obselete yet......hopefully they'll get something really sweet goign in two years...both of them...

impymonk...unfotunately not everybody knows what those things are....and the artcle still helps with telling us a general idea of what each setting does even if it doenst' effect proformance in each game..that way you know weather you really want to bother with 16x antialiasing when 4 looks fine, weather you need the high levels of an Anisotropic filtering. so i disagree....this article can be pretty usefull...though i'll agree..the one about the shadows....but still most games still take a hit with shadows on high...

the only real differencei see are the higher texture resolutions
