hi all.

a final playthrough. the best that my weak cpu can do, using Sounds and graphics overhaul as a base, 215 mods.

I tried the MGE 387 verson, with mixed results. a good scene but with slow fps.

thus I am investigating the good old fps optimizer 1.96.

I cannot seem to find good settings to use and i have dismay at now there seems to be little information anymore on what settings people use for the best view distances versus fps. this is why i post this question here. maybe in these days of MGE and MGE xe, someone still uses the fps optimizer.

all the old info is probably gone from the forums. thus post this info for others besides me, please.

what settings do you all, who use this, find, to work the very best results?



OR.....

if i redo the sounds and graphic mge setup. there are several MGEs that i can use.

I had tried the mge 3.87 version.

my cpu is a emachine elwimpo, a dual core E5400. intel. the video card is a ATI 5770.

a fair card with a slow processor.
4 gig ram.

there are other MGEs "below" the 3.87. several levels down, of not-so-good visuals but with apparently better processing power. the XE versions are probably too too much for me.

so if i could use 3.87 or a lower older version without distant land, would this mge be then "better" than the fps optimizer? but i sort of want to adjust the fps on the fly.

if 3.87 is *really* the best one to use, or a lessor brother of it, what might then be the best settings for me to use>

thank you all: maybe this info might also help others too.
