New control panel & Render X Frames Ahead Option...

**Tyler582** · 01-30-2007, 10:26 PM

So I remember back when I used to have a 6800GT that setting this option to 0 instead of 3 increased performance drastically in many situations. My question is whether this option is still hidden away in the new control panel? If so plz tell me where.

Thanks,

PS. New control panel FTL. I cannot find options easily and things like overclocking (even tho I have coolbits2) and image scaling options do not work

This amazing tweak guide answered my question for me:

I was able to enable the option thru RivaTuner (great program). Alternatively, there is a registry file u can use to get the old control panel back. That, paired w/coolbits, also allows you to enable this "Max Frames to Render Ahead" w/the newer drivers.

However, changing the value to 0, as was often recommended, causes my system to crash w/o failure before any game even launches. I did successfully decreased the value to 2 tho.
