Hello.

Recently my 8800GT got fried =(. So Im back to using a 6600GT 128MB til I get a replacement.
However with MediaVPS, Freespace 2 plays really really bad, low fps and latency in controls.
So Im assuming its the texture size thats beating my card down(after all its only 128mb).

However Im open for all kind of performance boost options.
Id really appreciate it

Thank you.

You should definitely disable mv_advanced.vp. As for other options, we kinda need to know what options you are using right now in order for us to tell you what to shut off.

I used to run FSOpen MediaVPs on a Mobility Radeon (no extra letters or numbers--yes, it was that crappy)

It worked well, actually. Back then, VPs were split up into textures, models etc. I turned off models and advanced, and it ran very well. Oddly enough, newer textures were often used on retail meshes, which still looked better than standard, and all engine/weapon/hit effects were all VP level.

Not sure if that's still possible what with our new mv_assets package, but you could use VPview or something to extract out things.

Another thing though is that the 6600 would have been much much better than my old crappy card/integrated, so the extra poly count might not rape your performance.

Speaking of which, it'd be kind of neat to have a low-spec pack that ran textures at half size, and made all ships max out detail at LOD1. Of course, this means that LOD1s for almost everything would need touching up, but it would allow lots of flexibility for older or nongaming computers.

If you turn down the model detail and 3D hardware textures settings in the in-game detail options, you will see a similar effect.

It wouldn't happen to be made by BFG or another company with a lifetime warranty, would it?  I know BFG makes pretty good on replacing their cards (at least they did for me) and if it's not BFG, look up your warranty info from your card manufacturer (or post it here and I'll check) and see what the details are.

Thanks .

Well, actually everything was enabled what the MediaVPS Guide said. Including those extra "-" parameters. However I never changed anything.
About ingame..well everything on full too.(worked fine back then ._. ).

And uh yea...

As for BFG, its an MSI Card, Im still at 23months so I will get it replaced, however they said it will take 4-8 weeks :/ So 3-7 more.
