Planetside 2 is CPU bound. It pretty much uses the GPU for physX and nothing else.

[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7OtYTXqcdI&feature=youtu.be]Here it is on inegrated graphics, low settings[/url]. It runs better than it does on my school laptop, which has a mid range nVidia card from 2010.

Also, the Ultra settings are available by editing the game's files manually but do not appear in game.

Not really, about the same as a second gen i5 performance wise judging by the video.

believe that "ultra graphics" is downloadable content. Am I correct?

No, it's a hidden setting in the game's .ini.
