OMG very high setting looks better than extreme setting.

Guys those of you who have played SP or playing must have noticed that textures in very high setting looks sharper than extreme setting.And the other difference doesn't exist.And add to that frame rate also gets a massive boost.So WTF is happening here.Can someone enlighten me?

The middle setting will be without the dx9 candy : post-processing stuff like antialiazing ambient occlusion shadows and things.

Yeah but graphics in very setting looks better than extreme setting.At least to my naked eye.

There is less motion blur and bloom that puts a lense over your eye and make you wanna throw up from sickness, that's why. :)

I don't use any of it, no AA no AF, so i'd probably have been better playing very high too, also the extreme beats the hell outta the GPU.

I think this console port uses some kind of edge AA which hides jaggies by making the texture blur.

It's the HDR lighting too, that adds that bright sort of "foggy" look to it.....kinda like when the sun hits your eyes from coming out of the dark.

One more thing extreme setting makes my 5850 runs hot.Max temp it reaches is 86c. While playing in very high it reaches 76c.I donot know what utter nonsense extreme setting adds,but the bottomline is that the game looks good in very high setting as compared to extreme.i have never played a game in my life which shows such characteristics.
