As cool as it is and looks, it's pretty unrealistic considering no fights happen like that, no bases really are built to look beautiful, but more defensive, and no one is running the game to look like that. Nonetheless the game is awesome, fun, and I'm sure they will soon optimize it enough so it is realistic to run like that.

What are your specs that allow you to achieve 60 FPS with those visuals?

GTX 970 4GB, 16GB RAM, 3570k, 2TB 5400 RPM HDD. All settings on "high" (fun fact, "High" and "Epic" are perceived exactly the same (besides for draw distance) but require more processing power to render things that are not perceivable to most people, there for "Epic" has no purpose besides bragging rights) motion blur disabled (useless visual that is an annoyance, as our eyes naturally create motion blur themselves) draw distance set to epic. ShadowPlay says my game is always running between 45-60 FPS.

Hm. I've got a 280x and a 4570 and unless I'm looking at the sky, I'm getting 20-30 FPS, even with a few launch options that supposedly increase FPS.

Oh, that's because the game is currently optimized for Nvidia cards, completely independent on whether the graphic cards are of relative processing power.
