I finally got a nice video card (Geforce 6800 256MB), but when I turned up every setting as high as it would go, it managed to slow it down pretty good. Since I can't turn them all up, which ones should I turn down?
I can't even find anywhere that describes what each of the settings does, to know what the effect would be of turning it on/up or off/down.
Thanks in advance!

Here's what I recommend: GraphicsAnistropic Filtering = Off Local Lighting = On Shadows = Off Disable Far Clip = On Shiny Objects = On (this one's a must) Avatar Rendering = Bump Mapped & Cloth Terrain Detail = Full Advanced GraphicsAGP Graphics Accelleration Texture Cache Size = Large Video Card Memory = 256MB Object Detail = Max Tree Detail = Max Avatar Detail = Max Avatar Vertex Program = On Draw Distance = 128 Fog Distance Ratio = 4.0 Drop Draw Distance if FPS <5 (or whatever you personally find an acceptable minimum) Bumpiness Draw Distance = 30 Max Particle Count = 4096 Outfit composit limit = 5 Start with that, and if it's still too slow, turn off local lighting. If it's still tooo slow after that, drop the draw distance a bit. Have fun.
