Advanced Video Settings

[luxlunae]

the wiki didn't include a low quality settings macro, this is mine:

/p LOW GRAPHICS
/console groundEffectDensity 16
/console groundEffectDist 1
/console horizonfarclip 1305
/console farclip 177
/console characterAmbient 1
/console smallcull 1
/console skycloudlod 1
/console detailDoodadAlpha 1
/console spellEffectLevel 9
/console projectedTextures 0
/console waterDetail 0
/console rippleDetail 1
/console reflectionMode 0

Being able to toggle the projected textures with your macro seems really important to me as you MUST have projected textures for a lot of things but it eats up frames if you have it turned on x5

and thanks so much for that article!

is spellEffectLevel an obsolete setting?

/console characterAmbient 1
/console smallcull 1
/console detailDoodadAlpha 1
/console spellEffectLevel 9

As far as I know... these settings are obsolete with Cataclysm.

There is also some good infos here at least as to Nvidia GPU's, as to getting the best WoW performance from your video card.
