Advanced Video Settings

[shadewalker]

You may have to tone down what settings you change. If you set them all tot super high and have your other wow's open, uppon changing your games may crash when attempting to change windows and adjust the video settings. Try starting at medium and go from there. I always like the max view distance and particle density myself.

I'm about to get to work on my setup for this now, its been a while since I initially wanted to set this up. It will take some playing with to get it right, but it'll get me a little more edumicated with ISBoxer

Thanks for the feedback, Ill give smaller changes at a time a try and report back.

Here's my settings I've come up with

Low Graphics

/console groundEffectDensity 16
/console groundEffectDist 1
/console farclip 185
/console projectedTextures 0
/console waterDetail 0
/console rippleDetail 1
/console reflectionMode 0
/console particleDensity 10
/console environmentDetail 50
/console violenceLevel 5
/console SunShafts 0
/script setView(4)

High Graphics

/console groundEffectDensity 64
/console groundEffectDist 160
/console farclip 1250
/console projectedTextures 1
/console waterDetail 2
/console rippleDetail 3
/console reflectionMode 3
/console particleDensity 80
/console environmentDetail 125
/console violenceLevel 5
/console SunShafts 2
/script setView(5)

I kept a few things out from this that I didn't care changing for either high settings or low settings.

What are the lowest with /console i can run
so these settings for example


/console groundEffectDensity 16
/console groundEffectDist 1
/console farclip 185
/console projectedTextures 0
/console waterDetail 0
/console rippleDetail 1
/console reflectionMode 0
/console particleDensity 10
/console environmentDetail 50
/console violenceLevel 5
/console SunShafts 0
/script setView(4)

like in the last post. Is this as low as you can go to run the most efficiently? while 15 boxing usually pretty well on all lowest settings (in wow menu) but i wanna lower them even more because when in large fights like AV my characters lag out some times

basically what im asking what is the lowest settings possible you can run on all of those? and safely. seems when i run macro posted above i get crashing issues now and dont know how to fix them lol??!

Awesome ill give that a try. how do you get the entire thing into a macro because it is above 255 characters? do u use an addon or something.

[Ualaa]

I use IS Boxer.

High Settings is a mapped key, that is executed by the current window on a swap.
Low Settings is a mapped key, that is executed by all of the other windows on a swap.

Like many addons for macros, IS Boxer lets you use much larger macros than the default 255 characters.

dang i didnt know that. ill look into that right now. thanks

also what about running DX11 instead of DX9. is DX11 more efficient or will it bog system down more?

DX11 requires more system resources at higher settings. I couldn't tell you how efficient DX11 is compared to DX9 because DX11 offers visuals in the game that DX9 cannot. While it takes more system resources to use it, that doesn't necessarily mean it's less efficient.

I use High:
/console projectedTextures 0


And Low:
/console projectedTextures 0

Ualaa, why do you set projectedtextures to 0 for both? It may not be needed for pvp, but is crucial for some PVE boss fights. The AOE ground damage really hurts.

[Ualaa]

I don't do PvE, at least have not done any since Ulduar was the highest raid content in the game.
If you need the setting for PvE, change the setting

I adjusted the settings downwards, from what Fef had originally posted in the first thread... that inspired this one, until I was totally smooth even in mass pvp.

I don't like sound enabled in game either... so have it set to disable that.
If for some reason my wow sound gets enabled, IS Boxer will disable it on all toons with a swap.
