settings for radeon 6990 - switch from nvidia

Water=2 on a ATI card gives you the same results as Water=4 on a Nvidia card. So for your ATI card, Water=2 does give you perfect setting. Does it look different compared to an Nvidia card? If so, then it is the rendering code that instructs the card how to display the water.

Thank you for this clarification!

Hey folks, really thankful for this thread. I really didn't know what to do with the conf settings and the differences between nvidia and ati cards. My water was set to =1 and I was ok with that. I just went in and set it to 4, here are the results.

Thumper I tried HundertneunGustav settings and the water looks like the water I have in game but it seems to not run as smooth as my settings. If it seems like your lagging try these

"feeling" no difference here, Fps still well over 50 over an ocean.
Ima gonna stick with your settings for a while, Hunden. Maybe i can make out a difference in a different scenario.
Thumbs up!

Sounds good, I always enjoy trying other peoples settings just incase I'm missing something.
