How should I configure my video options?
The easiest way to configure your video settings in the options menu is to
make use of the ?Default? ?Performance? and ?Quality? selections
on the options menu. These will configure your video settings to pre-arranged
levels based on your system performance. The "Default" settings are
the recommended settings that the game chooses after the initial video test, "Performance" settings
are optimized for fast and fluid game play, and "Quality" settings
sacrifice some performance for higher quality graphics.
You can use each of the individual settings to fine tune your performance
levels to optimize game play. Keep in mind when changing settings that resolution,
anti-aliasing, texture filtering and frame effects tend to affect performance
most drastically than the other video settings. Should you have performance
issues, these are the settings you should try lowering first.
