I just want to know if im actually running true "ultra" settings. This is my ini file. I read that with lighting at 5 and AO at 5 you can retain both high lighting effects and better reflections. I do have physx off and render quality at 1.21. Im running a GTX 680 but with these settings my GPU max framerate falls to 65-75 and if I turned up RQ is would fall below 60.
I dunno but why do you have all the extra options: This is all I have under "rendering" [Rendering] GraphicsQuality=4 TextureQuality=0 ShadowQuality=3 RenderDistance=999999.000000 Gamma=0.000000 MaximumFPS=120 UseLod0a=0 VSync=1 OverallQuality=-1 LightingQuality=4 FogShadowsEnable=1 EffectsQuality=4 TerrainQuality=4 FloraQuality=3 ModelQuality=4 ParticleLOD=4 MotionBlur=1 AO=1 VerticalFOV=74 GpuPhysics=1
Some of these fields are from beta, some people think they still work so there is nothing bad with just putting them in there.
[Display] RenderQuality=1.410000 (can go to 2.000 but that is up to your individual rig) [Rendering] OverallQuality=-1 GraphicsQuality=5 TextureQuality=0 ShadowQuality=2 (this is medium shadows, my preference for more FPS, looks great, doesn't cause my computer to kill itself) LightingQuality=5 EffectsQuality=5 TerrainQuality=5 ParticleQuality=5 FloraQuality=5 ModelQuality=5 AOQuality=5 AmbientOcclusionQuality=5 VerticalFOV=74 RenderDistance=3000.000000 FloralDistanceScale=2.000000 ParticleDistanceScale=2.000000 EffectsDistanceScale=2.000000 MaximumFPS=120 Gamma=0.260000 TerrainLOD=5 FloralLOD=5 EffectsLOD=5 ParticleLOD=5 UseLod0a=0 VSync=1 FogShadowsEnable=1 AO=1 GPUPhysics=0 MotionBlur=0 Sadly this screenshot does NOT do the game justice, it looks better ingame when you are standing there inspecting every little detail.

Nope, whatever you want it at. I never go above 60 ingame. I have vsync on permanently because my FPS is too unstable otherwise. I don't know if it's that way for everyone or not.
The only thing I did through my GPU software settings was turn threaded optimization to On. I already unparked my cores but I figured might as well, no harm in turning that setting on in my GPU settings as well.
Just ran a test of LightingQuality=5 vs 2 on GU06. 5 still reverts to medium, you lose the sunlight effects. Video:
