Hello! I currently run a heavily modded Morrowind at a fairly constant 30fps, with lows of 20 in busy areas, using a MGEXE draw distance of 10 cells (and the high quality atmosphere and distance colouring option enabled). What I would love to do is bump up the cell draw distance count much further, while still retaining that average 30fps for gameplay. Does this setting rely on CPU or GPU power most?
I currently have:
i7 2600k @3.8ghz
2GB GTX 560 Ti (two in SLI, but I'm guessing Morrowind only uses one)
My GPU is the weakest link there, and I'm looking to upgrade later this year. I'm wondering how much a new GPU will help improve the draw distance in Morrowind, or if that setting is almost entirely reliant on the CPU.
Thanks for reading
