Topic: load on the graphics card

Recently drew attention to the way the game loads the video card. It turns out two clients use it to full capacity. But there are no graphics and dynamics crisis level 3. Maybe we should do the optimization client?

Re: load on the graphics card

If you run SLI it will help your performance, but Yes I agree there is far to much load on system memory and the video memory. 

Sure People can run 12ish clients but you need a good machine, your first bottle neck always seems to be system memory, with video running not far behind.

Your really having problems?  Its it more frustrate loss?  I don't see how running two clients on that system would really push it to overly hard.

But, that might be a problem in itself.

Re: load on the graphics card

I run two clients on a i5-2110M @ 2.3GHz with a GT525M GPU... from China(you cannot imagine the packet loss) and it's still playable. NB: all settings at min spec for the M

Oh its still playable its just i have & do run very taxing applications on my computer np but perpetuum just seems to be the special one of the bunch.

Even running PS2 maxed out while having autocad render 3D models isnt nearly as taxing it seems lol

I do run every thing on MAX settings tho

Setting draw distance to max is a brutal overkill, it has negligible effects compared to the speed loss and it should be only used for screenshots.

Also, turn on vsync if you don't have it. Having vsync off tells the game to run as fast as it can and will always consume all the GPU power it can.

Re: load on the graphics card

I'll try the Vsync, see if that helps out with multiple clients, I have always had it off.
