TTW Performance Guide (OLD, Do not use!)

Post by **jlf65** » Mon Aug 14, 2017 11:18 pm

Are steps 6 & 7 actually worthwhile? Maybe it depends on the card. I have a GTX 1050 Ti SC and changing shaders makes zero difference. No better speed, no better looks, nothing that I can tell. Is it only for ENB users, maybe?

Take screenshots from the same position. I used the bridge crossing the Potomac, textures reveal more detail at distance. It is a small tweak that provides image quality without a performance hit.

NVAC is an anti-crash plugin for NVSE

www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/53635/

If you run NVAC you can use his custom shader package. Shaderpackage%03i in the downloads section.

"Place in Data\Shaders, requires NVAC 7.4.0.0 or newer. Mashup of shaderpackage 18/19 and 16/17. Proof of concept."

I'll pay a little more attention to the far details... I also didn't realize he had his own shader package. I'll give that a whirl. In any case, my point was it just doesn't seem to be the night-n-day difference some people make it out to be. If you have to compare screenshots to note a difference, most people aren't going to bother.

EDIT: I tried that custom shader package... it made only ONE difference I could spot... it made interior shadows go through walls. Great if you don't want to be ambushed in buildings... not so great if you're not trying to cheat. Oh well, I'll stick to the normal shader 3 package for now.

Thank you! I thought that was an issue of my 30Hz setup =)

Does the game actually read the readerinfo.text file? or is that just a 'report' kinda thing? Seems like if it was a configuration file, the file extensions would be something like ".ini".

It uses RendererInfo.txt , if it's not correct the game will crash or act strange.

Thanks Roy, I always wondered about that.

Just a suggestion, but should probably note that, not all, but some of the methods are incompatible with enb.

He uses an ENB, works fine.

When using the patcher, YOU MUST RUN THE GAME AS ADMIN or it won't work with ENB. I disabled the comments on the mod itself because I got sick of people not reading the instructions.

No That's not what I meant. You see using the 3.0 shaders are incompatible with some ends, and also one of the other methods of I remember correctly. I just thought that you should let people know about it.
