So, i got myself Battlefield 3 today, and decided to give the Ultra quality a go, even though i thought i would have framerate issues, since its supposedly only "for computers from the future", and surprise surprise - that was bullshit.

Framerates are smooth as butter, only drops (not even below 40) are in particle intensive spots (middle of an explosion etc) - but that's normal.
So wtf is this, some cheap ass tactic to get people to shell out money pointlessly?
Hell, i could easily rise the AA and other settings that affect object smoothing, but at 1920x1200, anything more than what i've set, is seriously unnoticeable, so it's a pointless waste of processing power that could be utilized elsewhere.
The benchmark is in the upper right if someone didn't notice, i ran it through the ending of the jet mission (final bombing and landing) and a little above halfway through the follow up mission (you can see the location in the menu background).
Anyone else noticed that it runs just perfectly without SLI?
