I remember altering one cvar here, one there, "hmmm how about r_subdivisions 20 today", then timedemoing to see what kind of change there was. All of that was necessary for a 333 MHz Celeron and a Voodoo 3. These days all I want is to max everything out; tweaking used to be a desperate search to get games to run smoothly, now it's more like, "let's see what other bells and whistles I can get turned on in this thing". -- "I don't feel tardy" Steve ¤»Inglo«¤ www.inglostadt.com
