SCII looks so different on "Low" graphics! I'm normally on "Ultra".

Anyone else notice this?

Yes, lol, it is plain ugly on low..

Of course, i can even run SC2 on my notebook with a 4500MHD onboard graphics, though i think only 1v1 is viable.
The graphics is ugly but pros use it alot and i can understand when i play with that, because everything is more clearly arranged and i have always the feeling that i have a clearer view on the game though the better gaphics is more impressive and shiny

lower gfx sucks^^

liquidret plays on lowest settings as do i )

i have to play on low / medium settings. kinda sucks, but it keeps things simple

I have to admit that when I first went from low to ultra full HD settings, I did loose the first 2 or 3 games because I was zooming in and out looking at all the detail and going "ooh thats pretty." I think having it on ultra seetings softens the blow when you loose your entire army to bannelings, because at least you can say it looked kick ass.

I play on low so i get the best framerate, but if my computer could support medium/high with the same FPS i would put it on that. for me, FPS is more important than looks. although on low the forcefields do look slightly less visible which is one downside...

This is really true... you can easily miss that a forcefield has been placed because they are nearly invisible oO this sucks on low graphics..

people need to buy new computers every 4-5 years

I play with everything on Ultra. So good.

When the latest patch came, I checked the graphics settings, and it had automatically adjusted them to the extreme (or whatever it is called) settings (although I think there are only a few that are extreme, the rest are just ultra). Cool....

If I were to spend $$ on a new computer, I'd want to a) build it myself and b) build it to be solid for the long run, not just adequate for now. That'd run me at least $1000 probably, maybe a couple hundred more, plus shipping and handling etc. I've looked into it before.

Anyways, I'm a poor college student, so even $500 is well out of my range.
