HD vs. Standard Quality


Giordano

Recommended Posts

I play resizable in standard detail but only because my laptop overheats too much in high detail. Graphics wise it can handle it but I don't want the motherboard to crash again. I do like the looks of high detail and occasionally use it when trying out new content such as quests.

I have a great computer, but I still run SD on the absolute lowest settings. Anything else just looks odd.

The majority of the time I use SD, just because I don't really care about graphics. I play HD resizeable when I am doing something that needs more screen area and a more detailed view, but other than that SD ftw :P; especially with resizeable and FS SD now..

HD since i built my new desktop, just looks so much better then SD. Resizeable aswell so i can keep an eye on other windows at the same time, i find it bizarre that HD fullscreen uses a lot less resources than HD resizeable though.

Most noticeably when recording with fraps, fullscreen i still get the max 50fps, resizeable it drops to around 15 for some random reason when my pc shouldn't break a sweat :ugeek:

Still though, no lag whatsoever when im doing anything else on any graphical setting :thumbsup:

HD on my desktop, SD on my laptop. I think with a 9k+ series grafics card, you save yourself from a lot of lag by going HD. In fact, all the lag I get on my desktop is loading players and npcs in crowded places like slayer tower or ge because of a terrible connection.

 

Pretty sure everybody gets that on any connection really, you're getting pinged alot by the server saying the players name, what they're wearing then your computer has to load all the details of what they're wearing etc, it's the problem with crowded areas to load all of that information

I usually play in High Detail, and resizeable or fixed depending on what I'm doing and what I feel like at the time.

 

However, if I'm doing something like Runecrafting, where I try to get the max experience per hour that I can, I reduce all my settings and to Standard Detail, and switch to a Portuguese world to reduce the lag.

Safe mode, resizable. Used to be HD resizable, but the computer eventually wore out of that, so I downgraded to SD; then Jagex wtfpwned SD into a mini-HD, so I went to safe mode so I could move without disconnecting.

Balance may be power, but chaos is still pretty damn fun.

Computer hardware doesn't slow down over time like that.

 

I play on HD. It's 100% smooth. Safe mode and SD feel laggy in comaprison (even on my quad core computer) so yeah... 60 frames per second HD all the way.
