the new shaders dont lag to hell anymore

General Discussion Started Last reply 21 posts
you know how they use to suck on the pts?
well i dunno, i turned it on last night and ran thru giran and giran wasnt any worse than it normally is
maybe they fixed it :<
I am still running an Nvidia 6800GS so the new shaders dont respond well on my system. :/
I'll try it real quick then edit this post!

edit: Yeah, they seem a lot less laggy to me now, too.

Though, I'd like to know why my character gets blurry when I zoom into her. Her face stays normal, but everything else gets blurry...

do you have reduced fram rate activiated? hit alt+p
If I had lower detail on, I couldn't use the new shaders, silly :p
Are you using vista? The depth of field effect has the same issue on my card. Everything seems blurred ok except for my chars head. It's mainly the lighting effects that dont work well for me.

Same on Vista.

The Shaders still lag it a bit too. Immediate drop of 10 FPS when I enabled them. Kinda harsh :p
on XP the head of character is not blurred too
my gf card is radeon x1600pro..
I'm using XP as well.
was hoping it would work untill you posted this :eek: The new shaders look great and with HDR L2 looks very good.
So if anyone has any tips.. *cough* Pvrjudas *cough* please tell ^^
the new shaders seem crap to me .. drop of 10fps and i dont notice any difference,

the blurryness gives me headaches,

vista 64 - 8800gt oc2
I don't know about the graphics but I seem to be picking up stuff a bit faster now. The quest window still has a messed up *COMPLETE* message and the client still randomly eats last characters typed in the text window.

That's because you're supposed to feed your client more regularly.
Oh wow cool, yeah the shaders don't completely crash my client now and it's actually playable with all the improved shaders at 2x aa...

I'm having the same results as everyone else on my Nvidia 8800 chipset, head is sharp, rest of the body is out of focus like stuff in the distance is supposed to be.

...and unrelated to shaders, yeah I hate the way that the last character of chat text just seems to randomly get deleted now and then...forces me to pad all my text with spaces at the end ><
spaces at the end... thanks ill try that :p
by laggy i ment literally laggy
if you swirled the camera around on the pts it use to actually freeze for sec or 2
my head seems a little bit brighter than everything else too
and no i dont use the out of focus effect, its useless
you cant even see something 3 feet away and it looks like youre staring thru a heatwave
i get 15 fps average with everything on in giran normally, i doubt the new shaders are dropping me down to 5, although i havent checked
I am not impressed with the new shaders in any way. they don't really look good and the field of view one makes my character squished looking :|

Amen :/
Well imo the Focusing View Shader is only good for screenshots.
I dont even bother with the new shaders, and have even dropped HDR in favor of AA, with AA applied to transparent texture edges in the drivers.

I have the same problems with the new shaders as everyone else. Face stays in focus while everything else get blurred all to hell. If it wasnt for that, I might actually try them out for a day or two.
