Performance tweaks!

Question

Dalayan Beginner
Post any tweaks to files that will either make ingame graphics look better or run faster ( higher FPS ) I'm currently playing around with the EQclient and using fraps to test some stuff. SO anyway that does know any please post. :)
*****Remember to also back up the files you tweak just in case ;)*****
*Vertex shaders!*
I I have found if you you turn these off your FPS will be boosted by at least 10 if not 20 like mine. To Do this go to your EQclient.ini and find this
[Defaults]
Sound=TRUE
TextureQuality=1
VertexShaders=TRUE
20PixelShaders=TRUE
14PixelShaders=TRUE
1xPixelShaders=TRUE
and change them to this
[Defaults]
Sound=TRUE
TextureQuality=1
VertexShaders=FASLE
20PixelShaders=FALSE
14PixelShaders=FALSE
1xPixelShaders=FALSE
To my eye I have seen no decrease in the look of the graphics (old models) but my FPS has risen from a 60-70 to a 80-90
******Some one running the New models please try this and tell me if theres any change in the graphics with this disabled******

*Combat music*
Now this doesn't enhance your FPS to my knowledge but for people that find it annouying like me you can disable it by going into your eqclient.ini and find this
CombatMusic=TRUE
And change it to this
CombatMusic=FALSE
 
well not in EQ but you can use a program called fraps that shows the FPS as an overlay, also it can take movies and screenshots
