  The thing about Ultra settings is a lot of them do almost nothing for image quality compared to High or lower in some cases - but they take significantly more processing power than High.

  Why so angry?
  
  It is a preference thing. If they want volumetric lighting, lens flare, DoF, adaptive exposure, etc. etc.
  If developers have it, then its your prerogative to enable or disable it. And if they demo'd it in E3, then it is reasonable for the buying public to expect it in the final product.
  
  I'm not sure why you quickly attacked the previous poster. That is an immature way to discuss a simple topic.

  I agree he could have worded himself more politely. But he's not wrong. If you use the wrong settings, there will never be a card good enough for you. You can enable all the things you mentioned. Still there is a big difference between DoF medium and ultra in performance hit.
  
  Crysis at the absolute max settings is hard today with video cards that are 10 times as fast as what was available then. Max settings really doesn't mean much, depends on what those settings are.

  Even so, if someone’s acceptable graphics settings are more taxing than yours calling them an idiot is just 1) a sign of really low self esteem, and 2) itself a bigly idiotic thing to say.

  Using SSAA at 4x is idiotic :)

  You obviously never experienced _proper_ SSAA at 4x thingamajig on a GFX-enabled GPU. :P

  Child rage temper tantrums. Back to Wccftech with you.

  Let me guess: It's more mature to persistently meme that 4K 60hz games are inherently an unattainable goal that can't happen for now or any time in the near future, but it's not mature to dispel the myth/meme that 4k 60hz is possible and HAS been possible for a while.
  
  And even if you want to be moronic and enable computationally intensive effects that don't provide a large benefit to the overall picture quality, even I can play games like TF2 completely maxed out at ~66 FPS avg on my system specs on a 4K 60hz monitor, despite how wasteful enabling 8x AA on a 24" 4k monitor is to the framerate.

  "Current graphics cards can’t play games well at 4K."
  
  "Idiot, they do when you turn the settings way low!"
  
  Uhm. That’s like him saying a car isn’t fast enough to drive on a highway at reasonable speeds and you going "Idiot, you just have to drive it at 30mph!"
  
  > I get really tired of people who don't know trash about optimizing game settings according to what their PC is reliably capable of and assume that if a game can't be played at 100% MAXIMUM settings then it's the hardware manufacturer's fault. Nope. It's not AMD or Nvidia's fault here, they can't fix stupid users who don't understand how to fine-tune graphical settings to get to an ideal playable framerate and video quality.
  
  Seriously? You don’t see how you’re shifting goal posts here just to call someone "stupid"? If a game can’t be played at "100% MAXIMUM™ settings" it’s usually the GPU that’s not fast enough. Just because you turn off all effects to be able to play that doesn’t mean that other people find that an acceptable compromise.
  
  You call others stupid, but you talk like a 14 year old gamer who got hit on his head by his mom a couple of times more than he should have been.

  Like clockwork:
  
  >That’s like him saying a car
  Making a really bad car to computer analogy. Check.
  
  >You don’t see how you’re shifting goal posts here just to call someone "stupid"
  Making a stupid blanket statement comment stating that games can't be played at 4k 60hz (read: this is blatantly false), then projecting their stupidity to others. Check.
  
  >You call others stupid, but you talk like a 14 year old gamer
  Wants to stand on their high horse for not belittling others in online conversations, then immediately does that in their comment anyways.
  
  See, I'm not above or below comments. You're stupid and a hypocrite. PC software have always pushed the envelope for existing PC hardware. This isn't new. This has been the situation for decades. If Nvidia and AMD made a GPU 4x as powerful today, 1 year from now, we'd be seeing game publishers making software that's 4x or 5x as computationally intensive as what we have already. You can't ever blame the hardware manufacturers, they're literally on the bleeding edge of existing process nodes and the amount of memory that's feasibly and affordably integrated into GPUs.
