Rikus 0 Posted March 20, 2007 What´s the matter with shadows? also in low eats lots of fps. If i disable i win 30%-40% more of fps. I don´t want to imagine to put shadows in medium or high... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddmatt 1 Posted March 20, 2007 Detailed shadows in games are always demanding. Sure disabling them gets extra FPS, but it also makes the game look like crap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
d3dsh33p 0 Posted March 20, 2007 post processing with shadows seemed to be the fps killer for me post processing is gone now and after review i dont want it back even if it didnt kill fps, blurr vision is not my vision Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maddmatt 1 Posted March 20, 2007 post processing is gone now and after review i dont want it back even if it didnt kill fps, blurr vision is not my vision Blur vision? It doesn't blur my vision. There is a DOF effect in weapon sights and in cutscenes, but it shouldn't blur everything or have any negative affect on gameplay. I'm not sure what you are talking about .

OFPDude 0 Posted March 20, 2007 You can't disable the postprocessing in ArmA, it is always on...you have a choice of low or high postprocessing effect. (unless of course you are using riverturner to force pixel shader off) As for shadows, the low/medium shadows use up more of your FPS because they are crappy stencil shadows...if you have a decent video card, set shadows to high to use the gpu optimized shadowing which render faster ArmA is the only game I have ever played where changing the settings have little or no effect on fps.....eg. changing view distance from extreme low to extreme high Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Easy_tiger 0 Posted March 20, 2007 Ive found that setting the shadow detail to low still gives you good results and doesnt reduce FPS by that much, well not on my Radeon 9800 anyways Anything higher MURDERS performance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
