Quick question: does this hammer the CPU even moreso? Suck memory? Allow you to cook eggs on your GPU?

 

Well, com'n, it must do something or else why didn't R* think of doing this?

Yes, but we've already established, Thales, my friend, that I want your system. smile.gif

@ MrNutjob

monkeymhz's "ultimate performance fix" is not sh*tty, it does exactly what he describes. but like almost every tweak found so far it's highly dependend on the actual system and ingame setup. some get more fps, some not.

True, my performance tweak simply did what you can now do ingame, it turns your shadows, reflections, water quality to low (regardless your resolution).

 

Since you can do that now ingame, with the patch's, that old performance tweak I wrote up is now useless.

 

This, is just a LOD/Draw Distance modification, looks good. It helps my laptop since its a slow CPU.

 

Just to sum it up to you understand. My old performance tweak set Water Quality, Reflection Quality, Shadow Quality all to low regardless your resolution so that helped people who had a weaker GPU than CPU, since those settings are all mainly GPU intensive.

 

A tweak like this one, will help people more who have a slower CPU than GPU.

 

Btw, good tweak! Thx.
