For those curious about what the difference between these settings and the console versions of the game, Irrational Games technical director Chris Kline offers this explanation:
"Playing the PC version on Medium settings is fairly close to the console version, though higher quality in a few areas. As you go up from there to the High, Very High, and Ultra settings the difference is enormous."
Players will also be pleased to know that the game also supports "horizontal plus" widescreen support and multiple monitor gaming. The game certainly offers a powerful punch graphically, and playing the game on higher setting would certainly be a treat for those who are able to run the game at that level.
