Highwayman72 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I've tried it extensively (on a GTX260), and still am not sure about any performance gains. I definitely don't see any graphical changes (compared various screenshots). Which is strange, since ATI shaders should be different from NVidias ... I've got one little problem: I've been renaming these folders so many times, that I've lost track of the original names. So can anyone tell me if the folder with the file deferred_lighting.fxc and filesize 99158 is nv8 or the one with filesize 97749? TIA! ummm i just winrared the two folders as easier than renaming all the time the ati one is 96k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StingRhea Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 (edited) i read somewhere that turning of clip capture in the game options adds fps. i did the swap of the folder names and have no sound issues, will reply here later after i ate my dinner. ----------- after eating dinner.. I found out that if you lower all your graphics settings you actually lose FPS! This is when I disable the clip capture.

Julias Caesar Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 guys who find this works for them: Are u sure it also looks better? I have not seen a screenshot confirming this. Maybe it would be possible for the threadstarter or anyone else to post some comparison screenies? That would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredFredrickson Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Did nothing here. XP SP3 2048 MB DDRII AMD X2 6400+ 8800 GTS 320 go to www.lwgame.net and install DX10 for XP, and you see the difference. Its possible to remove, using an changer on DX10 secion on this site. I have used this for much time, and much games like, assasins,crysis,london and others run DX10 on XP. Does DX10 for xp give any real benefits? I feel left out, but I'm nervous hacking away at my current install of dx 9.0c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said there may be more z-fighting for me, but then again I could be looking for problems. I haven't really played with it enough to be sure.

D3B0 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Thought I would at least try it and here is what I got..so I guess it didn't really do anything for me but I am still having fun playing it haha Before renaming Statistics Average FPS: 31.38 Duration: 37.32 sec CPU Usage: 80% System memory usage: 50% Video memory usage: 99% Graphics Settings Video Mode: 1600 x 1200 (60 Hz) Texture Quality: Medium Render Quality: Highest View Distance: 30 Detail Distance: 100 After renaming Statistics Average FPS: 32.17 Duration: 37.17 sec CPU Usage: 80% System memory usage: 50% Video memory usage: 100% Graphics Settings Video Mode: 1600 x 1200 (60 Hz) Texture Quality: Medium Render Quality: Highest View Distance: 30 Detail Distance: 100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
