Graphic settings Noob Help - What settings?

(1/16) > >>

VaeliusNoctu:
Many are graphic settings it in this game and I confess I have no idea what the best quality and ensuring the best performance.

Therefore, the request can someone explain briefly what settings improve the quality and what the performance / power?

I click on list all settings:



Resolution: Actually, clearly, the higher the better quality and less performance.
Texture resolution: Also easy to understand the configuration options are self explanatory.
Lightmap block size: from small to large, but which setting provides the best quality?
Anisotropic Filtering: clear, more equal better Qualiät.
Full cost: a little power.
Texture compression?
Show FPS: no impact.
Texturdetailierungsgrad?
Isometric: I never quite understood how and whether the effect only in the Geoscape.
Shadd GLSL?
Real-time lighting costs: power, illuminating textures.
Weather has cost: performance.
Vertex Buffer?
Multisampling buffer?
Swap interval:?

Gamma impact: None.
Contrast impact: None.
Brightness impact: None.
Lightmap size: what is it?

stretch picture to 4:3 ratio impacts: No?
Enable post-processing shader effects: Cool effects, cost performance.

EDIT:

GLSL shaders leads me to the earth is transparent.

Mattn:
this board is english only - except in the translation boards - and i don't think this is translation related.

Hmm... VaeliusNoctu, Bearing in mind the limitations of Google translate's ability to translate between German and English, I can just about gather that you are either asking for or are providing a detailed explanation of each of the graphical settings and their effects in-game, am I right?

VaeliusNoctu:
loooool i do this seconds bevor you.
See below I edited with google too.^^

Duke:
Admittably I can only explain some of those settings. For the others, I'd like to see some explanation too.

@bayo:
The menu system supports mouseover/tooltips in the HUD. Could we have tooltips in the option menu too (if we had the text for those tooltips) ?
