Naturally most of the features are graphics related, but not all. The internal PhysX tick-rate was doubled on PC resulting in more precise collision detection and joint behavior. We "render" almost twice the number of sounds (all with wave-tracing) compared to consoles. That's just a few examples, so that you can see that not only graphics gets a boost. On the graphics side, here's a partial list:
* Most of the textures are 2048^2 (consoles use 1024^2).
* The shadow-map resolution is up to 9.43 Mpix.
* The shadow filtering is much, much better.
* The parallax mapping is enabled on all surfaces, some with occlusion-mapping (optional).
* We've utilised a lot of "true" volumetric stuff, which is very important in dusty environments.
* From DX10 upwards we use correct "local motion blur", sometimes called "object blur".
* The light-material response is nearly "physically-correct" on the PC on higher quality presets.
* The ambient occlusion is greatly improved (especially on higher-quality presets).
* Sub-surface scattering makes a lot of difference on human faces, hands, etc.
* The geometric detail is somewhat better, because of different LOD selection, not even counting DX11 tessellation.
* We are considering enabling global illumination (as an option) which really enhances the lighting model. However, that comes with some performance hit, because of literally tens of thousands of secondary light sources.

The PC side definitely became more and more optimised as a side effect. For example we don't need as much system memory as other PC-only games. Anything above 512MB RAM with DX10/DX11 code-path on Windows 7 would be enough. DirectX9 uses system memory backing store for almost all GPU resources, so you should add around 256MB to avoid page-file swapping.
The CPU side is slightly more problematic. Because the system is heavily multi-threaded, we need at least two hardware threads for "smooth" gameplay. The CPU performance doesn't matter that much, except on a few selected scenes during the whole game as long as it is relatively modern architecture (not Intel Atom!) and has more than one core.

Vzhledem k tomu, že na hře spolupracovali hodně úzce s nVidia laboratoří v moskvě, a vzhledem k tomu, že hlavní programátor (ten co napsal text výše) se podílel na vývoji NV40, bych si tipnul že na tom bude nVidia v téhle hře lépe..
. A je mi fakt jedno, jaké tam bude logo kteréhokoliv výrobce..
kdo to asi dá letos ve FullHD na maximum plynule? 
Určitě to o tolik vylepšené oproti konzolím nebude. Už se těším na ten bugfest
