Title: Max texture size
Post by: Pyro on October 08, 2004, 07:55:49 AM

I'm just taking a quick straw poll.  If you have a few seconds to answer, it would be appreciated.  The question is - What do you have your max texture size set to in your AH video options?

ATI 9800 Pro
1280x1024
All in game sliders set to max detail

I tried 1024, the graphics were great, but I experienced an occasional slight hesitation when approaching some enemy planes. Not nearly as bad as the horrible screen freezes on my old system, but enough to bug me. So I switched back to 512.

I might try disabling custom skins and going back to 1024. But realistically the only time I can tell the difference between 512 and 1024 is looking at my own plane, or an allied plane right next to me. You're never that close to an enemy plane for long enough to see the difference, and I saw no difference in the ground textures.

Textures: 128
Resolution: 1024 X 768
Card: GeoForce 2 MX  64MB

I tried the textures set to 1024 in the off line mode, and the only difference I could see was in the detail on the wing of my own aircraft.  I could see rivets, etc., where as with the texture set lower that stuff is just sort of blurred out.  Higher textures made absolutely no difference in enemy aircraft or ground detail as far as  I was able to see.  This may be because my computer is old it's not capable of seeing higher detail even if I set it...I'm not a computer person so i don't know if that is the case or not.

512, which is what it defaulted to.

I have not attempted to use 1024 since AH2 beta and the lower resolutions don't look nearly as good IMHO.  I'll try out 1024 once I get my 6800GT back from RMA.

In video options: Texture is set at 128x128 in 1024x768 resolution.



system specs:

*Celeron 700mhz :)
*384mb PC-100/133 SDRAM :)
*ATi Radeon 7500 PCI (3.6 catalyst drivers)
*Win XP

( i still get decent fps though :))
