Please don't artificially throttle back the graphics.

[EVILoHOMER]

There are default settings for a reason, to make the game look the best it can while being able to run on the most amount of systems. If you look at the Steam survey and even from what CCP have said, the Nvidia 560 is th emost popular GPU atm. So the default settings should really use that card as the benchmark.

However I find it really annoying as someone who loves to build PCs each year that there is nothing out there really that pushes my PCs other than bad optimization. We've seen in the past of graphical settings being kept back because people whine that they cannot max out the game on their shitty PC. Well I just think tough, the game looks great on default settings most probably and in a couple years when you have a new PC you'll be able to max the game out. However for people like myself who puts most their money into this hobby, I want to be able to turn everything up.

There are setting sliders for a reason, if you cannot max the game out then turn them down. Don't throttle everyone else back just because of a few whiners on the forums who cannot handle knowing their game isn't maxed out. Often these people lead to bad PR for a game and then you see the next game come out where they make no effort to push the boundaries. We've seen it with Crytek and Rockstar alone and I think I even remember Planetside had high resolution textures, you took them out and put them back in at a later date.

Thanx!
