So I'm wanting to TRY to get the best out of crysis 2 without upgrading my GPU ( at least not until BF3 debut's on the PC )

I'm actually wondering Which option in the Advanced Graphics Options menu.. Does what.

I know "OBJECT" refers indirectly to Tessellation and other "unknown" features, Perhaps one of you knows more than I.


Does anyone have a rundown of what

GAME EFFECTS/ OBJECT/PARTICLES/POST PROCESSING/SHADING/SHADOWS

All do in terms of performance vs minimal loss of visual quality?

I know that perhaps "SHADOWS" may seem obvious, but there may be a few things that the Shadows option controls Besides Just casting shadows.

On a Side note, I do run an XFX HD 5770 ( No crossfire.. single GPU ) with DX11 and High Res textures enabled.

Oh mate THANKS!

I knew I'd seen it somewhere myself but couldn't place it lol.

Cheers for that, Will help me config crysis 2 to look reasonably good AND get a decent FPS out of it (Y)
