I think they look great and add immersion bigtime.....I only experience a small hit in FPS on a old 2.9 GHZ duel core
I do think if they make it unplayable for others they should be off.
yeah I'm running a fairly low spec machine that's about five years old and no much problems but I have most of the eye candy off or down
