I've been trying to find some settings that maintain my FPS at my vsync (75FPS) but each time i try to enable another feature my fps drops under the 75 fps ... any advise on how to find better settings that don't cause my fps to drop under 75 ? (currently have parcticles, enableing bloom or dlights drop my fps (using Fullscreen AntiAliasing (2X) at 1280x1024 )

It would helå to know what hardware you are using

05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600 GT] (rev a2) 128 MB PCI express 16X

1024*1280*32 (2 AA) using 2.0 Shaders
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 2800+ 512KB cahce (in 64bit mode)
512 MB ram

Anything else you need to know ?

As you are using vsync, do you also have tripple buffering activated in your drivers options?? I have about the same setup and i just use exec low.cfg;vid_restart in the console. But that one does disable almost everything so i'm not sure if you want to do this too
But i also do not use FSAA as Nexuiz is too fast to notice that effect..

Where do i enable tripple buffering ? (in case it's not on) in linux please ? And no my fps are fine ... I just seek what I can enable more without dropping my fps under the 75 ..
About the FSAA, that's an idea let me try...

Nvidia README Appendix D wrote:Option "TripleBuffer" "boolean"

Enable or disable the use of triple buffering. If this option is enabled, OpenGL windows that sync to vblank and are double-buffered will be given a third buffer. This decreases the time an application stalls while waiting for vblank events, but increases latency slightly (delay between user input and displayed result).

Thank you plenty.

Is there any way to speed up realtime dynamic shadows please ? I can run it, but my fps drop to 50 then from time to time ...

Another question along these lines: Bumpmapping seems to aprear when you enable OpenGL 2.0, is there a way to turn this of , or is the bumpmap shader comes at zero fps cost ?

Well the reason for this is that realtime shadows are a very advanced feature.. At least i do not know a trick to make them faster. However there are realtime world lights and shadows and effect realtime lights and shadows. I have not yet tested if only one of them are much faster then both..

Its late but i think you can turn them off with
set r_shadow_bumpscale_basetexture 0

Hmm i'll try that, but last time i tried that had no effect on the fps and thus it wasn't really turned off ... I wish to turn it of to gain FPS (and thus maybe yust allowing me to run with shadows on )

I doubt it comes at a 0 fps cost but it should be rather cheap. Well i never tried to make it look best with good fps, i just turned of what i did found
