6. Complex Shader Distance is the single most important setting you can tweak. It affects the distance at which the engine will stop rendering advanced pixel effects. Almost every single advanced setting I will explain down below is affected by this single parameter. I do not recommend setting this beyond 50. Turning this off (setting it to -1) can give you an increase of 10 to 20 frames per second on average because you have essentially disabled almost all of the advanced graphic settings. A safe setting is 25 or 30.

they aint bullshittin about setting it to -1 giving a huge performance boots. makes the gfx look like eq quality tho =p |
I do most of my playing like this just so it's smoother and the mem leak doesn't seem to affect me as quickly either. I can play with it on, but I lose a few fps, enough to where I just don't find it as enjoyable.
