In Response To: Re: Bug Free's The Way To Be! (Forrest of B.org)

: I'm on a dual G4/450 with 1.5G of RAM and an original Radeon. The only major
: slowdowns I notice are right at the beginning of a level (when it is still
: loading textures, presumably), and for some reason around media (sewage,
: etc), but not all of the time around media. It still doesn't play as fast
: as original Marathon did, but then I've got 130 hires 512x512 true-color
: textures per set, so that's... about 65MB of stuff in VRAM for just the
: textures. It's mostly the graphics card that's the bottleneck: I'd
: recommend over a 64MB card (better than mine, basically) for really good
: performance with the highest res textures.

Oh and I should mention though that the medium-res 256x256 textures only use up about 16MB of VRAM, so downgrading to those you should be fine.

There's also a lores 128x128 but true-color replacement pack that'll take up a measly 4MB. That's the pack that ships with the Infinity-EternalMkI updater package, for users with much older computers. The hires ships with the full install. Midres is an optional download only.
