Texture Sizes !

a Poll to generate information on what texture sizes people are generally using. Or in other words what works with your system for stability and suitable performance ?

PLEASE INCLUDE details of your GRAPHICS CARD TYPE and onboard memory for that card.

original for me

Original.


Haven't tested the difference between the options graphics and performance wise so i don't know if that's the best choice.

I was having stutter problems with original. I put it down to medium and alot of the stuttering went bye bye.

Have only minor stutters left with the settings I have atm, no need for me to reduce textures to medium, as, imho, the visual appearance is significantly decreased with textures on medium only. So, I keep them on Original and go with the stutters (actually, the only recognizable stutters occur when my bullets hit another plane...).

im thinking of putting out a half size resolution pack of textures for the key culprits. the texture memory drawn for them for me personally is just too much. if the majority of people use high then surely we can cope with a 1024 texture and not a 2048 which is an exponential increase in size and probally handling by the engine. also we could have an extra mipmap out at the horizon possibly making things even smoother transitionaly

Wonderful idea, I am sure that a reduction from 2048 to 1024 regarding texture resolution would already lead to a huge improvement with little loss of quality... I think the textures would still look better than on medium with this decrease in resolution...

OK, sorry, new guy to the show as steam just released it to me. Where are these texture packs available for download. A forum search has resulted in poor results here.

Original...I'll post my system specs if anyone is curious.I get very little to no stutter.

Original
But the biggest performance increase/decrease for me was after trying different terrain shading, right now on medium, about 10fps difference for me bewteen high and medium.
I will try the terrain detail to low, since in the screen shots it only seems to affect draw distance and I as well can hardly tell the difference, in the last two screens I see the most difference, but only in the very far distance.
