I've Amd 64 X2 Dual Core 6400 3.36Ghz - 4Gb DDR2 Ram - 280GTX 1Gb - WinXp.

Slowdowns (from 60/58 stable fps with sync on to 22/29 fps with heavy stutterin') happens around north-east coast of Goikul and coast north of Mukero.

I've tried to reduce tga's size as you suggest but that not solve Might be too much surf (damn' BeachBoys!)

Ok so keep 1024 resolution...no need to loose graphic quality if it don't brings your more fps.

Hum...your 280gtx is better than my 8800 gt under 3dmark, but my cpu is better than yours. i play on 24" screen at 1600 resolution with 2antialiasing and 4aniso. if you get down resolution and gain fps you are cpu limitaded. if nothing changes, with same filtering CG settings you are GPU limitaded (but i don't think so).

I will check the places you indicated and try to low down surf.

i have fps problems sometimes, but with other maps too when the zone has many shadow cloud on the ground, which is the case for this map in the north. but it's never too much, it remains payable. i'm waiting next Nvidia CG in mars to change it.
