/bug My graphics card sucks to much to handle UM. Please send me a new card ASAP.

i sent a PM to a "regular" here on the forums, because I wasn't getting much feedback. They said that not all the costume pieces work with Environmental Reflections yet. (i assume its for lower end Cards or update to the live server settings).
So here's my little beef with UM, I am having issues with my UM graphics settings that I currently do not have on the Live Servers. Mainly costumes. Below are my specs, and then screenshots. Notice on Tech Sleek I get a yellow and black fade, and my visor goes from Metallic, to a muddy look on test. Could this be a costume bug?
Also note that on Cyborg or Valkyrie costume pieces, they HAVE reflection qualities on test and live-which is great, they havent been negatively affected! They look awesome. Any ideas? I dont necessarily want to run UM, but I DO want to maintain my graphics as they are on Live.

Test - i17
Oh look. It's open beta! Finally.
For those who haven't had the privilege of testing i17 yet, yes, it is all that and an order of fries. There are LOTS of new goodies all across the board, from animated tails, to AE, to the consignment house UI, to new arcs, and more.
The graphics engine has undergone some SERIOUS changes. For those who can run it successfully, Ultra Mode looks freakin' great.
There is even a COMPLETELY UNSUPPORTED way to force your video cards to try to do SLI instruction sharing so that if you have more than one video adaptor in your system, you can eke out higher performance. (Check the SLI posts on the beta boards for more details.)
That said, this is one of the most radical changes to the game engine since launch. It NEEDS more feedback from users with a variety of video setups, both high-end and low-end.
Please subject your system to Ultra Mode settings and then /bug your results or post them to the forums, including your system specs like CPU, Video card model, driver versions, and the like.
The game developers have really gone above and beyond for this one. Help them out and provide as wide an array of feedback and testing data as you can.
