Perrie Juran 195 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 <theadjack> My apologies for the thread jack but knowing that some of you are real shopping mavens I thought this thread and the accompanying JIRA would be of interest to you. http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Merchants/MP-Team-please-exclude-merchant-names-from-item-search/td-p/1503531 </threadjack> Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't even have to reduce my draw distance to enable them and the big bonus is: this does not seem to significantly reduce the speed either. I only had 10 minutes earlier today before going to work and I can't wait to come home this evening to start playing with that! :smileyhappy: I've found a similar thing. A lot of the graphics tweaks on Firestorm don't seem to adversely affect framerates... *until* I go somewhere busy. Shadows and DoF on one av doesn't seem so bad, but on several it can really make a difference. Oh, and if you want fps to really slow to a crawl, try putting the shadow detail up from minimum. I did it and suddenly I was in single digits. eta: not on a Mac, I use a 3.3 quad AMD with 550Ti graphics. That card was the best upgrade I ever bought Link to post Share on other sites

Dresden Ceriano 133 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Very nice, Burciaq. I have the same vest, shirt and pants... I would challenge you to see who looks best in them, but I think I already know what the answer would be. ...Dres Link to post Share on other sites

Cinnamon Mistwood 1,184 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Everyone looks great!!!! In honor of Storm's return to this epic thread, I will post a few from Ambrosia today. I took the purple haze ones (thanks Storm) and Caity took the real colors one (Thanks Caity) This one almost looks 3D. Yes, I am reaching out to grab you. Domitan correctly pegged this one. I, too, thought it looked like I was playing air guitar and I was giggling as I downloaded it. Storm's Purple Haze comment finished it. Caity can do much better graphics settings that I can. Always nice to see how I look to others. Link to post Share on other sites
