Unlike console games, PC gamers have the luxury of choosing different graphic settings. And I am just wondering... in order to get the best performance & quality, what are the settings that gives the best qualities and what are the settings that having them on will only give small improvement at a cost of big FPS drops. Back in the CRT days, people have said to increase the resolution before using AA because less performance loss and similar graphic improvement, now that most people use LCD and native resolution, there are many other different types of settings out there, shadow, texture, v-sync, anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, etc...
