    Like the title says, what do they set for high and what do they set for ultra? I have always thought the term "maxed out" referred to all settings being cranked all the way up and I thought this was high. So when notebookcheck says ultra, I am assuming they refer to ultra as all settings cranked up. So does anyone know where they go down for their "high" settings?

    I do not really care if all the notches and sliders in my settings are set all the way to the right. I usually find the right balance between settings and how they really affect/how much i care how they affect. There are several settings that I don't really notice that big a difference by turning them on. So I leave those off. If that is the case, and if several of these settings are included in ultra but not in high, then I don't need to look at the ultra score for my reference on notebookcheck. Hence my question.

    If you put your cursor over low/medium/high/ultra you'll see exactly what settings they put for a particular game.
