    yea you need a good system for sure, it brought my framerate from 120 down to 9 fps with everything enabled...but i turned off most of it and left the reflections and bumpmapping..i get over 30fps at all times now..if you try my edit you will find it plays better...

    I havent tweaked it much..just 3 times, i think the bloom ssao and motion blur make the game look fuzzy, kinda like decreasing your eyesight...maybe someone can edit the file to make it look a little brighter at night and a little brighter during the day...
