post processing effects

does this option (making it look like an old film) cause a drop in frame rate? im not convinced I like using the feature so if I can bump up performance by not using it then I will. thanks in advance.

Yes the FPS takes an hit if you use the post processing filter.

Go to external camera, or periscope. If the card is too weak there will be frame drop and u will see that coursor move is not smooth. Go then to video options and try off/on different effect. Game will change it at the moment and u will see how it impact your cursor movement and what effects affect fps most. That way it is easy to find some optimal video settings. For example my radeon x1900 only valumetric fog is frame killer rest i set up to the max

Hope this helps players to quick find optimal video settings

With Volumeric fog and the event camera disabled, my mid range system with a 7600GT video card gets great results with this game, and everything is very smooth with the graphics maxed out.
