So this is a very brief comparison video of Battlefield 3 running on lowest settings vs. it running on maximum settings. I know it's not the best comparison out there, but you can certainly see the difference.

Surprisingly, the game still looks pretty fantastic on lowest settings, which is apparently what the game looks like on consoles.

I normally run games at 2560 x 1440, and I get a steady 45 FPS with everything at Ultra, it occasionally drop to 30, but for the sake of recording I dropped it down to windowed 1080p, because FRAPS can hurt FPS. When recording in 1080p I get 30-45FPS in the heat of action, normally about 30 fps. Without FRAPS, running at 1080p usually gives me up to 60 fps.

My PC specs:
Single GTX 580 3gb
i7-2600k 3.4ghz Processor
8gb of RAM
Dell U2711

  • and you MUST do comparisons in 1080p

  • @RiderCore I know, I know. I had everything recorded in 1080p but something got fucked up in the video editing software for whatever reason.

  • 1:21 it's inverted

    I think the settings just apply to the ground

  • @Xxx0zkrxxX Yeah I realized after publishing it that the left is actually ultra and the right is lowest.

  • @Minime637 you can use the annotations :)

  • @Xxx0zkrxxX TOO LAZEH!

  • 1:22 um... the low wan is actually the ultra one -_-

  • Low settings looks like xbox --'

  • i still dont see the diffrance exept the shadows

  • Lol my computer isn't that great but low settings at 720p should give me a very sexy 60fps :3. Can't wait to upgrade to a 6970 this Christmas though lol

  • Can't really see much difference except for textures and aa, should look great on medium

  • Não tem diferença!!

  • How about Low vs Console settings?

  • I can't really distinguish the difference....and low looks better in some cases to me, lol but my monitor isn't 1080p though.

  • My laptop runs minecraft at all low settings with tiny draw distance with 15 frames a second :( good thing im building a pc with a watercooled gtx 580

  • They look pretty much the same except for the texture on the floor
