There is a beta 2.0 of a great program called NVMax that allows you to do all kinds of cool settings (D3D and OpenGL) for your GeForce card. I'm trying to get every ounce of speed out of mine and this has really helped.

But one other thing, in SDOE in the distance (using the latest patch by the patch crew) there is some strange flickering going on. So I'm wondering if someone could post their Sdemons.ini settings for fog and so on (just post them all). I want to see if I can get rid of it.

Thanks

Edit On

Being a squaddie of Jet's, I'll do the unthinkable and edit this post. Jet & Pye know what I've edited out, it isn't anything consequential. The above will still work just fine as the content of the sdemons.ini

Good catch Pye.

Self-appointed Abwehr rep. of JG3

P.S. Jetlag, you may hear a knock on the door tonight.
