GWX choppiness issues

No no no, they got better when I turned it ON........

I did this three or for times just to make sure I wasn't going crazy. I looked at the bow and it was noticably lagging, the very second I turn it on it cleared up, the second I turn it off it lags up again......

Since when does turning on more video options make games run smoother:hmm: Oh well it solved my problem and I'm happy know, though alittle lost ad confused lol.

When you say that your turned "it" on what did you turn on? If you forced all of those setting before you started the game and it lagged untill you pressed shift+PGUP that is because by pressing shift+PGUp you turned off all of the setting that you forced earlier. It gets blurrier so that it looks kinda like AA buts its not AA. You are running with 0 AA at that point hence the increase in FPS. Unless im misunderstanding you somehow (entirely possible).

I tired it again just now but without all the other things I forced and it didn't work. I went back and forced all the setting I mentioned in my previous post and turned "it" on (shift page UP) and again everything smooted out the second I did that (ie my fps increased.......the game ran smoother....)

Don't worry about bieng confused, I am as well. Never in my computer gaming career (lol) have I ever turned on more settings and the game runs smoother at that rather than the lower settings....Maybe my computer is so highspeed that if I run programs at al lower setting it run it slower (worse), but that just doesn't make any sense at all lol, then again my post rarely if ever do.:hmm:

I read a post on the subject a long time ago but unless I am mistaken its an either or situation. What I mean is, if you turn on all of those setting in your video card setting before the game they will only remain on and functioning untill you press shift+PGUP. You are running at Anisotropic filtering: 16x Anisotropic optimization: OnAnisotropic sample optimization: On Antialiasing setting 8x untill you press shift+pgup. As soon as you press that it turns off everything you turned on in your video card before game, and turns on HDR or whatever setting that thing affects. So you have HRD (or whatever that key combo turns on) but you no longer have Anisotropic filtering: 16x
Anisotropic optimization: On Anisotropic sample optimization: On Antialiasing setting 8x. You cant have both at the same time. With all of those setting turned back off and only HRD (or whatever it is) running your FPS may be going up because its not taxing thevideo card as much. Hit shift_PGUP again to turn it back off and you go back to Anisotropic filtering: 16x Anisotropic optimization: On Anisotropic sample optimization: On Antialiasing setting 8x, and that may be more than your card can handle. Someone correct me if I am wrong because I would like to have this clarified as well.
