Texture compaisions, High and Low

[chilly-willy]

texture_managed

true or false? What is it?

[=3dS=rOOk]

I just set everything to high in the settings XML (texture_quality" value="medium" /> to High didnt work but when i set everything else on high i got the high quality textures!!) (at 1024*768)

And the framerate was the same as when i had everything on low at 800*600 ...

Do you think that this is because i only have 1 GB RAM (.. its low quality RAM, too...)?

i wrote that in an other thread, too:

AMD 3000+

GF 7600GT

1 GB RAM

So i installed that Fraps-thing to show the FPS and the result is a little wired ..

when i put everything on high (textures on medium..) at 1280*1024, average FPS are 25-30. And it look soo nice!!. Ok but when i put evereything on low at 800*600 the fps are exactly the same?!

.. so my hope is that its not the graphiks card that makes graw run at only 25-30 FPS but the system RAM?!

3000+ CPU should be ok, 7600GT, too. But 1 GB RAM is just the minimum to play the game?

does anyone have a 7600GT but 2GB RAM?

Already tried newer nVidia drivers (not the beta ones)?

I had similar experience, 15fps regardless of video resolution or quality, after drivers update thing are lot better, but not satisfyng also (30/40fps 1280x1024 no post effects, dynamic shadows on low).

A64 3200+@2500mhz

You do not need 512mb video ram go to my post in the tech fourm and it will tell you how to change it to high i have 256mb video ram 7800gtx it runs real good 100+fps looks much better

I only have a 256 MB X850 XT PE and with the edits in the .xml, I can get the high textures with the same framerate as the medium textures.

512 memory is definitley not required to run those textures.

i've got same problem, but i think that you 've to put not only "high" but also on "true" relative settings..
