    Even if you've got the latest and greatest CPU, graphics card, widescreen monitor and cutting edge video game, odds are you're not enjoying the ultimate gaming experience. Why? Because you're gaming on the default graphics settings. No matter how old or new your gaming rig, you can probably squeeze even more performance from the system by following the tips in this Gamers' Graphics Tuning Guide.

    This information applies to both desktop and notebook users alike. We'll cover how to make your in-game visuals look their best, and how to do some basic performance optimization for your games by slightly (or significantly) tweaking your graphics settings.

    Nice read, thanks. One thought though; GPU guide and not a single photo and/or video? :p

    Edit: The "GPU guide" link is an autolink, not my fault :)

    Great read Dustin, as usual.
    But I specially loved this part:
    Since NVIDIA is mostly renaming their old 8xxxM hahahaha (ok, im exagerating) But it is true tha ATI makes huge improvements on GPUs, and I dare to say, even better than NVIDIA's.

    TLDR: Turn stuff down and you will get higher FPS.
