Dxlevel 80 vs 81?

Atrocity

4 Frags – +

Does it even matter? Which gives better FPS, etc.

#2

3 Frags – +

chris posted that a while ago that 81 is more optimized and would actually save more fps than 80

80 makes water graphics turn white.

Dx 81 is almost completely unsupported these days, the update yesterday was the first time I've seen an update for dx 8 in a while. But ex 8.0 has long been deprecated. Don't use it.

DX8 gives people more fps. It was quite significant prior to the update, but maybe mat_phong helps enough to make the increase insignificant. I doubt it, though.

I tested dx9 with the mat_phong thing, it was less laggy but compared to dx81, still laggier.

Wtf people. I'm saying don't use -dxlevel 80, it seems to be very buggy and unstable for most people. -dxlevel 81 is fine.
