The following un-thorough test was done on:
i7 2600k @ 4.4Ghz
2x gtx570 Nvidia Surround 285.79 betas
8GB 1600Mhz system RAM
Realtek onboard audio Dolby Digital optical out latest R2.66 drivers
Crucial C300 128GB SSD (Game)
Crucial C300 64GB SSD (OS and pagefile)
Game load appears to be tied to framerate as desktop framerate is either 1fps or 10fps and the game initial load
from desktop icon to first ad screen is excrutiatingly long @54 seconds. i.e. you want more tests? Do them yourself :P
All in-game settings maxed means:
Fullscreen YES
Resolution 5916x1200 (16:9)
V Sync NO
AA FXAA (HIGH)
Stereoscopic 3D DISABLED
DX11 Features
DX11 Tessellation
Detail Level VERY HIGH
Dynamic Shadows YES
Motion Blur YES
Distortion YES
Lens Flare YES
Light Shafts YES
Reflections YES
Ambient Occlusion YES

My Opinion: Crappy, unoptimized DX11 implementation. There is just a tad more "realism" using DX11, a bit more glint and reflection off all
surfaces light hits. "Looks" a TAD more "wet" and authentic but not worth ruining the gaming experience over.
