Re: My GPU Fanwich

Ok one question shamus... when i use renderer.drawfps 1, my fps avgerages around 91.1/14. Is that good w/ my med settings? Do you think I can up some settings while sacrificing a little fps?

Are you kidding me? Those are great numbers. You can up some settings as the game will play well all the way down to 60fps, but below 50 it gets shotty. Resolution and AA are the big fps killers followed closely by lighting and shadows.

Re: My GPU Fanwich

ok here it is.. set resolution to 1400x1050 @85 Hz, put AAx2, and texture and lighting to HIGH. the rest is medium. FPS.. the lowest went to 31.0/22.0 on a empty server. tried it the same settings on a full 24/7 karkand server but resolution was 1024x768 @85Hz and lowest was around 51.0/30.0

Great job gsxr310. All thats left now is the fine tuning. This guide has some interesting facts about the effect each setting has on image quality:

Re: My GPU Fanwich

You're welcome.

I failed to mention the temp differential after adding the fanwich. Before, with the Zalman GPU cooler, my GPU Core temps (while overclocked like mad) were an excellent 33C/40C under idle and load.

With the addition of the fanwich, the GPU temps (still overclocked like mad) idle at 29C and peak at 33C under full load.
