Watch Dogs - Ubisoft's Third Person Shooter

What is weird is that you cant select ultra textures with 2gb cards but you can select 8xMSAA!?

Im sure there will be away around it. A nice balance of ultra textures and 4xMSAA would be good.#

Edit: is it even a hard lock - i.e. can you still select ultra if you have 2gb cards?

Yeah from what I've read it's a hard lock. There will probably be a way around it though.
 
This is a copy/paste of the games settings file (GamerProfile) found in My Docs>My Games>Watch Dogs. As you can see, changing various things is quite easy and apparently most have the desired effect. A few to note have been highlighted. It seems the 'Supersampling' setting does improve the visuals quite a bit but does give a performance hit.

Interestingly RenderRain is set to 0 which is odd.

All the settings highlighted in the lower section are for the HUD so disabling some or all of these for getting those pretty screenshots.
