I use to just run the game on high but I recently started trying out the lowest settings with models set to High, due to trying to run a stream.
Theres also a boosted framerate especially during massive battles....what settings do you guys choose?

What are your preferred Graphical settings?
I choose awesome.
But seriously though, just have everything high, except I have a taste for running with no AA. Just makes gives me this funny feeling like, hey I am playing a computer game. Feel AA is kinda not necessary sometimes with the high resolution and dont like some fuzziness going around. Just my preference.
I have it on Extreme, but that is only for 1v1s.
I can't play Extreme in anything higher than that, and I even lagged a little when my mothership popped in a 1v1.
" @Cataphract1014 said:Oh, I have no idea. I just turned it on and went with it." I have it on Extreme, but that is only for 1v1s. I can't play Extreme in anything higher than that, and I even lagged a little when my mothership popped in a 1v1. "I thought the changes in the "Extreme" settings were only for the campaign. "
High, I can play on higher than that but I like a decent FPS.
It's only ever lagged in a 4 vs 4, when all armies were maxed and attacked.
" The best settings as possible, but as long as the drivers like it (usually 50/50 chance). BTW, why cannot I access AA? :/ edit: I have an ati card. "You have to force AA in Catalyst Control Center. Keep in mind it is incredibly taxing, especially if there are lots of small units on screen.
I run it on Ultra on my desktop unless I'm playing zerg. I run it on low when I play zerg because I don't like how shiny the creep is.
On my Mac I run it on lowest so it is super smooth. I could run it on medium but it would have a few hiccups.
Absolute minimum. ReTarDedFisHy does not want any possibility whatsoever of his PC lagging or skipping a beat during a battle.
I can run 1v1 on ultra, but just so I don't have to change for team games and to make sure I never lag I'm running everything on low except for I think shaders, because shaders on low makes it look like a cartoon and very different from any streams I watch.
Also, because of my weird 16:10 monitor and the fact that I want to play in 16:9 my resolution is 1360x768. Better than 720p but worse than 1080p. I like to be different.
I leave mine on low because the Macbook Pro that I have can't handle much more when I'm using the lesser of its graphics cards. I hear the pros play on low because it gives the units a higher contrast to the environment and is less distracting than the higher settings with all kinds of particle effects and shadows.
