UI-based mods that cause FPS drop?


Recommended Posts

Posted

 I recently upgraded to a GTX 970, which can use Shadowplay. So I tried my current install of WoT on some replays for YouTube. While the framerates stayed rather high, they dropped often to the 40's...until I pressed the V-key and turned off the UI. The FPS immediately shot back up to 60 and stayed consistently around there. So I was wondering, which mods would be causing such a drastic FPS drop? I'd like to know so that I could possibly find alternatives to them for future replays. I know the Team HP bars (both total and per tank) are possible culprits, but are there any others? I also use Kriegstrieber's sound mods, but they don't seem to have much of any effect on FPS thankfully.

Seems the major offender was the per-tank hp bars. Switching to the minimal view hides 'em, and brings my FPS to very acceptable levels for recording. I'll just have to CTRL + TAB between them and only use when I really need them.

 

But I really wish there was a more efficient version of those kinds of mods that wouldn't cause so much of a performance hit. Wouldn't even need to be a bar. A numerical value would work, or even some color-changing symbol. I'll keep an eye out if anything like that comes along.

Aslains mod has an option where you can get them to show up 

on the minimap for tanks that are shown. 

Sometimes its better to get used to different mods or ways to

get some info, one gets used quickly.
