After the intro we will finally hit the Main Menu screen. From this point, we can join a game, host one, start a quick game, play Single Player, visit the UT community web page, change settings, or exit. From here we will click on settings and see what UT has to offer in terms of customizing video (and boy there’s a ton).
Main Menu, Choose your Mode of Gameplay.
Display settings, Here We go!

Texture Detail:
Texture detail determines the level of detail in each level. This applies to everything on screen: ground, sky, objects like buildings and trees, and vehicles. Obviously, this is one of the most important settings in the game. The higher you set this, the better the game will look in general.
Texture Detail Normal, Not bad..
Texture Detail Max, Now that's more detail!

Character Detail:
Changes how much character detail will be rendered. For instance, textures on the character will be smoother and more defined. Imagine looking at a blurry picture of a person and being able to sharpen it to notice more and more detail(facial features, armor, logos)..
Character Detail Normal, Looks pretty decent but...
