Texture Sizes !

I am using "High". Is "Original" higher than that?

Original. I have a 5870 with 1 Gig of VRAM. I think going to a card with 2 + gigs of VRAM would certainly give some noticeable improvement.

Any comparative screen shots we can look at [before/after] ?

great pics
Ali is this on original or high
i would like to see it on original if this is not

this is half size texture and colour changes vs the Originals. at max settings possible. The detail loss from halfing the textures is negligable on my system. its only just daawned on me that i should use a static camera ingame to create comparison shots. maybe next time.

"High" texture in a GTX 560 Ti 1GB VRAM, until Ali Fish Mod with reduced textures size and colour tweaks become official!

what i think is happening is kinda weird, im not really getting any FPS increase but im positive the stuttering isnt quite as bad, i usually use medium for some stability on my GTX280 card. i can achieve similar stability with High setting and half size textures. i believe all im proving that this texture setting is essential based upon how powerfull the graphics card is to be quite honest.

With better textures and modern VGAs, no much increase in FPS with lower resolution ones, but the impact in VRAM is big, because CloD uses really big size textures and almost all VRAM available.

That's why we can't see big gains in FPS, but a lot of redution in texture streaming resulting in stutters. You are in the right path, because the bigger trouble in CloD is the bad stutters in high quality texture settings... Maybe if you invest lowering the "less important" textures quality/size you can really do the trick!
