Regarding: DirectX Shutdown and General Drawing Quality

[Laraul]

There isn't a massive diff between GDQ 8 & 9 just clearer graphics and less jaggies but it requires much more power and Vram to run, on GDQ 8 my card uses 770 mb of Vram in Uldah, at 9 it uses 900mb Vram (thats without AA)

What about GDQ10 w/ DoF enabled? Going above eight with DoF or AO enabled does cause a considerable performance impact.
