Fps went to 50 almost instantly. Changed it back to the highest resolution and it stayed the same, around 50 to 55. I have no idea what I did, but it's running fine now.

That's truly strange, but good thing it's fixed now.

You have discovered the magic of computers, it seems. Sometimes we coders have the same effect generated by some kind of field around us... the bug don't seem to happen when we're looking over your shoulder...:what:

Heh. I've been in situations where I specifically assign a "0" value to something (not NULL), and when I subsequently refer back to the value, it would magically return to whatever it was before. That's when I start swearing that my code has become self-aware.

Great job thx.

First off I'd like to say a big thanks for putting together such a well thought out and thorough optimization guide. I tried writing one myself, but I found it was easier, and often yielded better results to just send people in the direction of this thread.

After reading the discussion here about what effect memory bandwidth has on the performance of the game, I did some testing on my own, and here are the results: Memory bandwidth; should you be concerned?. I just thought it might be of interest. You also have my full permission to include it in your guide in whichever way you wish, if you so desire.

Great test! Thanks of the information. I'll add it to the guide. I also should be getting my 2133 kit sometime soon, so I'll see how much that actually improves my heavy combat experience.

Just posted a "V2" update of the guide. Was trying to add a few new things to the OP, but have reached the 19k character limit. Could I ask for someone to please close this one off, and please refer to the new post for updates.
