Based upon Nvidia technology, but should add insight for AMD users.
Went thru it again as I had most everything turned down. When I was done, I pretty much had what the ingame auto settings gave. I'd recommend writing down what you currently use. Then click it to auto, then click it left to custom and read the article. A lot of the settings require you to quit and restart the game to see the change, so do it when done.
I kept "Texture Quality" on medium even though I only have a 768MB video card. I sometimes see it streaming textures.
Motion blur off.
Ambient Occlusion off.
RenderDevice.ForceRenderAheadLimit 1.
Network Smoothing Factor half. But when I restarted, everyone was spinning, warping and moving like they were on UberMeth. I had to bump it almost back up to full. Think the effect was because of the ForceRender.
For me, the game looks alot better with some features turned back up. I think I'm able to discern the enemy a little better. The feel is alot different tho. First round I was killing everyone on Metro. Then next round got my ass kicked.
