The in-game graphics settings for Mass Effect 3 may seem very limited, but it is still possible to configure all the settings just as from Mass Effect 2 with a couple extras.  You just have to launch the Configuration Utility.  To do so, go to the folder where the demo is installed and further into the folder Mass Effect 3 Demo\\Binaries.  Launch "MassEffect3DemoConfig".  Under the graphics settings are several shadows, lighting, anisotropic filtering, and post process antialiasing options.  I found that most of the settings were automatically maxed out on my PC, except for anisotropic filtering, which I bumped up from 8x to the maximum 16x.

Be aware that the antialiasing setting uses post processing.  This means that while it will effectively smooth out jagged edges without much of a performance hit, it could also blur texture detail slightly.  If you're fine with that, great, but if you want to avoid texture blurring and still smooth out jagged edges you will have to disable the in-game antialiasing setting and force true multi-sample antialiasing through your graphics card's control panel.  This will have a larger performance hit than post process antialiasing but the image quality will be sharper.

So, yeah, I don't have a configuration tool there. Inside the binaries folder, I have a folder called Win32 which is empty. What to do? x)

let me quote myself from before

  
the directory you're looking for is where your games are installed (specifically ME3 Demo)

you can find your directory by checking your origin client setting. hit the Gear button (next to the question mark if you're confused at my explaination) and under the General tab it says

"Select where you want to install your games"

navigate to that directory specify there and you should see your Mass Effect 3 Demo folder. the binaries folder is located inside there

That's odd.  I have the same folder Win32 beside the configuration tool, and that folder has stuff in it.  The only thing I can guess is that the demo didn't install itself properly.

Wait, I think I know what the problem is. You are looking in "My Documents\\BioWare\\Mass Effect 3 Demo\\Binaries", correct? That's not the right place to look. That's where save files, configuration files, etc. are stored, but it's not where the game is actually installed. You need to find where the game is installed (usually somewhere under "Program Files (x86)") and go to the Binaries folder there.
