Tips on full description. First part of the comparison here, showing Water, Shadows, Geometry, etc:    • Far Cry 3 PC graphics comparison - Shadows...  

This video shows off the different settings for Far Cry 3 in the following 4 categories: water, Ambient Light, Shadows, Geometry. All settings are shown, from Low to Ultra.

EVGA 660ti SC
i7 920 @2.7 during recording, normally at 3.2Ghz
Windows 7 64-bits
6GB RAM

60fps at 1680x1050, DX9 w/ HDAO and Enhanced Alpha Coverage on, all settings maxed out except Geometry at Very High, Shadows at Very High, FXAA. Some dips to 53-57 in more stressful situtations. A nice overclock or turning down one setting would solve this. But 95% 60fps.

Alpha Coverage - I see no discernible difference between settings or performance.

Environment - Again, no difference like above.

PostFX - This setting nets a huge FPS gain from High to Medium. Visual difference is nearly none, or little, except for motion blur which is turned off at lower settings, and FXAA which is hard to spot on video, which is also turned off on lower settings. Use Medium or Low if you really need better performance.

SSAO/HBAO/HDAO - I see some performance differences between settings, but it's hard to judge which one performs better. In theory, it should be SSAO. This and HBAO are overly done, characters and objects get huge shadows around them. HDAO is much less pronounced, but it isn't overly done like the other 2. To be honest, this should be mostly based on personal preference.
