Hey guys!

What are the features I should DEFINITELY turn off if my CPU isn't the greatest one on the market? In other words, what are the most CPU intensive features? I play FPS shooters if that helps at all.

~Thanks

A lot of the CPU-heavy features vary from game to game. Definitely lower most physics, if possible, since they tend to take up a lot of CPU. Also, try to lower LOD; it puts a load onto the GPU, but the CPU also has to calculate all interactions. Antialiasing, ambient occlusion, anisotropic filtering, and resolution are pretty much all GPU, so I wouldn't change those.
