for me, I tried streaming a 2 Co-op vs AI, and even at Low Settings, it's freaking laggy.

i personally use low because without it, i can't stutter step properly.

Agreed. I built a beastly computer so that it cranks beastly games at beastly graphics levels!

[SkyBreaker]

Don't ask me why... but I can't stand to have my settings on anything less than ultra... I like all the shiny-things! :}

[cure]

Ultra for me too, the game just looks better (:

[Next_rim]

I hate the "glow" of high settings in blizz games. I played on low in wc3, wow and now sc2 too, although my computer can run ultra. This blue-ish glow hurts my eyes, I can't stand watching it for more than 10 minutes. Besides, in combat visual effects make micro harder, especially in wc3.

I actually think the game is easier to play on the higher graphics settings.

For me at least the game feels smoother the higher the graphics are set...(not framerate, gameplay)

It feels easier to micro lings around etc...

meh just my 2c

I play on Ultra but I have a beastly computer and don't stream but I can see where the need to drop details when streaming.
Running XSplit, Flash Media Encoder without a dedicated encoding card and so forth really drains the system.
All our streaming boxes at work are dedicated streaming boxes with BlackMagic capture cards and even they can struggle when we're encoding 3-4 streams.

Ultra, i love having fancy graphics after years of never having a computer that could play games on anything but low/med settings

[bswhunter]

Lower reminds me of BW/wc3, making it easier to play. Everything is just to metalic with high shaders. I have to have texture/terrain settings on med thou, creep is ******* ugly on low.
One graphical advantage is having model settings on high, because units will have different death animations depending on what kills them. Although a slight advantage, it is an advantage none the less.

I feel your pain! I assembled my current gaming PC before picking up SC2, prior to that I was using an ~8 year old PC (which was good in it's prime, don't get me wrong) but nothing is more satisfying than having shexy ultra graphics! :]

Ultra ftw, whats the point of having an uber computer if you don't play on ultra settings

Hahahahahahah....! I prefer low cause it distracts me less and it takes up less bandwitdh (as said many times before)

Each setting has it's benefits.

Ultra lets you see some things you might miss. It lets you distinguish what unit is warping in and what a star gate is building. Nothing too pivotal. I'm not sure what works better for cloaked units.

Low is cleaner and good for Fps. I play at ultra low because my computer is like 8 years old. It can't handle a 200/200 army without massive lag T.T
