When I use medium shadows I lose about 40-50% fps compared to shadows off in a 10 car grid. Low shadows seem to have no opponent car shadow at all. I lose about 10% with low, but to be honest, I don't see the difference to off. No shadow below the car just looks odd. Could we please get a low shadow that has little fps impact. I'm absolutly fine with just a static rectangle shadow right below the opponent car, no need to do any geomtry or sun direction calculations. Thanks for reading.
Haha, I just started a threat asking if the heavy pull on fps from the shadows is normal or if it is some sort of bug. http://isiforums.net/f/showthread.php/5926-Shadows-and-their-fps-draw-a-bug-or-just-the-way-it-is But that's actually a great idea (+1) if it is normal, the shadows just pull that much, for those of us who can't run shadows then; to get a "half low" shadow; just a darker spot underneath the cars so it doesn't look odd. Now without shadows, the cars seem to hover
static undercar shadows are coming eventually... That's been confirmed earlier.. Shadows are further up the list then ever, Gjon said, so I would wait a little bit longer for future updates.. I think things will change. Nevertheless, shadows are something hard for GPU's
