So, most people are concerned with balance issues. Fine.

But what about all the other changes?

Can anybody comment on the NEW EXTREME graphics setting in patch 1.2 PTR? :D

Looking for some screenshots and stuff.

I can not tell the difference.
I run on "Extreme" and there is like zero difference in my eyes.

The only change that extreme adds is a shadow effect change in single player cut scenes.

I guess it's something that you have to zoom into to really see the difference.

Do all the graphics options have an extreme option or just a select few? Is there an option for extreme textures for folks with video cards that have like 4GB video memory?

Textures are Ultra. It's just one setting you can change to extreme. It looks really cool.
There's no S in KT. :P

I could only select extreme in texture quality, but thats the default for my v-card.

Medium everything:

Might be great for casting but not really for playing.
Most good players play on low or medium anyways

I think this is mostly a function of pros playing on multiple/different old computers. Some players find lower settings easier to read, but it doesn't take long to get used to parsing units that are a bit shinier.

No differences in Extreme, at least not that I'm aware of.
But the patch somehow make SC2 recognize recent video cards better. I remember when I install SC2 on my new comp with a GTX460 2 months ago. The game recommend medium graphic for..I was like wtf.
Now the new PTR version recommend Extreme and everything else Ultra. Nothing special but maybe useful on someone with a new comp and dont know what setting to chose.

Neither can I, but I confirmed it.

Even started a new game to make sure. (hence different picture)

A lot of pros use low settings sure, but I think even most people in the top 200 probably use high graphics settings.

AFAIK all the extreme settings could be done manually before this patch. I think I even mentioned how to do it in a post (search for "comprehensive variables.txt")

The only thing Extreme did then (and I assume now) is make shadows slightly more realistic and detailed, at a MASSVE performance cost. Definitely not worth it for ANYONE right now as far as I know.

There were screenshots on a site, but I don't remember the site, I think it was a german site.
