Thats the problem. RF runs well enough on a GeForce3, so there are no software tools for performance boost required. ¤ MARS WARS 3! - Red Faction revamped on the unreal engine.

Quoting Beatonator I imagine on older computers the D3D cache makes alot bigger difference but I don't reckon it will make too much difference on newer machines. Quoting REDFROG RF runs well enough on a GeForce3... Probably right, too less to see a difference? Do you think it can help even with new hardware when a lot of players, complex map architecture, physics involved and Geo holes are near limit? Morgoth Red Faction - Xmod Home Page Mod DB Thanks to visit     RED-FROG   Posted 4th Feb 2008 5:14pm L4Y Resident Post 2554 / 5258 To give correct answers on this you'd have to know what the D3D cache for Red Faction is used for, and you'd have to know if it ever reaches the limits, and what happens when it does reach the limit. For example is the D3D render cache an enhanced VRAM based on RAM? (when VRam is full, reserve the amount of render cache on normal RAM for the rendering elements (normal RAM is the slower way)) This could be estimated automatically by looking for the free and flushable memory.. Or is it the amount of VRAM used for caching textures and other rendering elements? This should and could typically estimated by the game and hardware themselves anyway. So well, to me it makes no sense. RF is an old game, and setting it to something like 128MB shouldn't hurt, I'd recommend doing it on better PCs since it can pretty much only help. ¤ MARS WARS 3! - Red Faction revamped on the unreal engine.
