Better this than 480p on a ps3 game...I'm not sooooo hardcore to play a game on 480p in a full hd console.

Oh god, graphics settings in a console game.

What the flying whatever.

we add the option mainly for these reasons:
. we met some strange performance issues on first generation PS3 with slow hard disk.
The possible solution is to format the hard disk or replace the hard disk .
Here we provide another solution to players, they cano slow down the texture streaming to help the performance with slow hard disk .
. we get some report from players , the SD version can get better frame rate. You can also gain some performance by changing the screen size in option menu. It's kind of unfair for HD players, so this is provide HD player an option to improve the performance.
the frame rate is affected by many factor (network , voice chat, ) , even with the same hardware PS3 , it's difficult to let all the players get the same performance.
.more visual preference option , we could specify the effect can be turned on or off in future according to people's preference . there are some game provide the similar options on console.

You can also just install a laptop SSD, works wonders. But even with a 7200RPM laptop HDD, i've got nothing to complaini about :)

I followed some of those SSD installs + tests and they netted no increase in performance on a PS3 Fat, either FPS or load times for games it was tested on, it was spot on the same time & FPS, ive got a spare SSD sitting around but not fancy using it if it yields no benefits.

Thats screwed up, its a console game. It shouldn't have graphics settings.

The frame rate is affected by multiple factors (network, voice chat), even with the same PS3 hardware, it's difficult to make sure that all players will get the same performance.
* More visual preference option, we could specify that effects can be turned on or off in the future according to people's preference. There are some games which provide similar options on consoles.
