    Perhaps my search-foo is weak, but are there any good Claws / DA guides I-7 or later?

    Thinking of rolling one up, as im looking for something new -- played INV and REGEN to death, and think that Claws / DA could be serious fun.

    Thanks

    I'm under the belief that your main bottleneck is your processor, but does lowering FSAA and AF to 2X each help at all? If not, then yes, your proc is the big stopping point for you.

    Your settings out of the box worked pretty well... but I did notice dropping FSAA and AF to 2X each had a big performance boost with little or no hit to quality as far as I can tell. Everything is better than ever in open zone and in solo mis... and much improved in team mis... but still not the best.

    Would upping the memory from 1GB to 2GB do much in the way of lag reduction? Or do you still think that its the CPU speed that is holding me back? Would I notice a huge change going to a 2Ghz?

    Actually - I have not tried the game since making the changes (made them from work via remote access).. I just found the post, and stared working through the steps.

    I checked CCC again, and no reference to the Smart Shader... I checked a another machine I service which is running the previous version of CCC - and it is there... so I can only assume they took it out, or at least disabled it for the X1300 in this latest version.

    Thanks for the info - I will check it out this afternoon when I get home, and see how it works.

    Looking at your guide to try and save my CoV experience.. solo - my graphics look great. But when I get on an 8 man team with a few MM - looks like a cartoon flipbook.

    Under 3D settings:

    SmartShader: None

    Where else could this setting possibly be, or did they remove it from the latest version? I followed your steps, removing, cleaning, right down to re-downloading... (Seems 6.5 is now available) but I cant seem to find Smart Shading anywhere!

    3D settings
    API settings
    I have an ATI X1300 Pro (256mb)
    running in an MSI mobo, AMD CPU, 1 GB memory

    Thanks in advance
