Ah... PC gaming. To shade or not to shade? Volumetric fog? FSAA? More whistles, more bells. You've all been there before. Stuck in the graphics/video section of your PC game's option screen shifting sliders and checking/unchecking boxes to fine tune your gaming experience. While those fortunate enough to always be on or past the cutting edge of PC gaming hardware technology nonchalantly "max out", the rest of us have spent many moments fine tuning within our graphical means.
To help in the matter, EA DICE has presented a comparison video giving you a side-by-side of the PC-exclusive Nvidia PhysX effects on/off.
