Sometimes it's very slight and not even noticeable, sometimes more so. If you were so inclined to quantify it, you could do benchmark runs with FRAPS with and without the FPS overlay.

Any help on how to do that color correction too would be greatful (I run GTX 580/nVidia, latest drivers 295.73, and also run EVGA Precision for fan and heat control/monitoring in relation to what software I have to my graphics on my system). Thanks for the great guide c0mad0r helped me a lot

Re: Tribes.ini : EXPLAINED IN DEPTH

I was wondering if anyone (or c0mad0r if possible) could help me optimize my INI

http://pastebin.com/wHbVHzqB

Two things I'd like to see

1) Increased player visibility at longer distances (for those long shots)
2) Less pop in / more smoothness in fluidity of terrain, buildings from looking in my scope at 1x/2x

I primarily play Sentinel now and I am getting very good at it, and hopefully can participate in some PUGs this weekend, but after my medium setttings + ini editing, the game looks dullish and I am considering what a previous poster said in the thread, to possibly change my color correction somehow and up the contrast/gamma when I play Tribes.

My rig can handle this game fine (minus the one issue as described in the bug forum, with Beowolfs) - i7 2600k + GTX 580 + 8GB DDR3-1333 + Velociraptor and SSD.
