As I'm working on a map I chose some "points of FPS test". There I check rmode 1 and stats. Of course thare are not just the points in the map, but I wanted something I can always reproduce. Now I am again in one of the points and FPS are lower than in a version few beta iterations ago. I have no snapshot of that old situation, only new snap with all stats:
What I have are some older notes about BSP a smeshes triangles. Counts are nearly the same, but FPS are let's say 20 % down. Now I'm just curious - what are the readings I should be most focused on? It seems to me, that smesh triangles are major part of the time for one frame.
Another guess... are textures with alpha channel more power greedy? Foliage (grass one especially) looks much better then the few triangles because of texture. I also noticed that when I'm standing in flower pot and get crouch, triangle count is not changed so much as FPS, because more of the grass got in the FOV. I'm just not sure... is it related to alpha somehow?
I compared FPS without stats in roughly the same conditions of course.
