The rational is less equals more. Snipers usually do this in games like bf2 and 2142. It gets rid of a lot the things that make the battlefield look more "real." It also helps distinguish terrain and enemies from each other. So overall it makes so you can see the enemy better giving you the contrast you may not normally get with higher quality graphics. So if your willing give up sex appeal for kills its worth doing.

Also i find it beneficial to turn set render ahead limit to 0 in all fps games ... Do that through nvidia control panel.
This setting will stop sudden stutters when turning corners sharply.

oh really? how do you set that in the control panel?
I've set it in console, but I always forget to.

I wish my monitor had a faster refresh rate. 6ms kinda sucks

You have to do it in the nvidia control panel somewhere under the advanced tab.. If you set it in game chances are that it will still render ahead based on what you set in nvidia cp.

I tried all low setting and game still looks great. I did notice some white haze in some spots. Looked like mist or light smoke. but I didn't see it on ultra in the spots I saw it on low. what do you think that setting would be?

Game runs 165-195 fps on low

Yea, I don't know if I can justify low settings with my rig. It's counter intuitive... Try medium and see if it persists?

Your eyes can't take in more than 72 fps so I'd try to reach that.

true story.

I'm not sure how much BF3 is affected by it but in some games, higher FPS whether you can see them or not can help.

I remember that RTCW and Enemy Territory had a few magic FPS settings that would allow you to jump a bit further... Don't remember why though. I think with was like 83 or 87 FPS...

Yeah, I know the video settings I have are non-optimal for picking people out but I like a pretty game. I'll dumb them down tonight and see if it annoys me or not.
