I've been playing FFX for a good 10 hours with a solid 120Fps. I reached Mi'ihen Highroad, and my FPS just dropped like a brick to 25.
I had two guesses why this happened:
1-the grass.
2-the long view of the road.
By unsetting the options "allow 8 bit textures" and "logarithmic Z", I was able to solve the problem. I did not get any increase in performance anywhere else, but I did get a decrease of visual quality.
So here are my questions:
1- For the tech savvy, what exactly does "allow 8 bit textures" and "logarithmic Z" do? Can anybody explain it to me? This way, I won't be just checking boxes randomly.
2- What exactly is happening in Mi'ihen Highroad to cause this?
PS
CPU: phenom 9950 (quad, 3.0Ghz)
GPU: amd 4870 (950MhzGpu, 1050MhzMem)
