Reduce your loading time and increase fps greatly

[Kaytiecakes]

Posting to bump and thank ViB! This works really, really well and I suggest some of you try it! Was easy enough for me to do the changes, so I'm sure you can manage!

This is *Amazing*, thank you so much!

Here you go: World of Warcraft - English (NA) Forums -> 3.3.0 - d3d9ex mode, ATI, and 134 crashes

And to quote "Datth" on the tech forums:

Summary: textureCacheSize no longer works. A gxTextureCacheSize now replaces it and its values are in MB (not bytes). You need to use it in conjunction with d3d9ex as that's our mode of managing texture memory.

Hope this helps

I think those of us with lower-end computers will see more of an improvement than those of you with better computers.

Example: my average FPS in parties/raids is 20-30. An increase of 15 FPS would be 50% better and quite noticeable. For someone with an average of 80 FPS, increasing theirs by 15 would not be a huge change.

I would be willing to bet all of those saying they got a huge increase have lower end PCs, and those saying it was slight but barely noticeable had higher end PCs.

EDIT: Tested, works. This increased my FPS by about 10-15 FPS as I guessed, though my loading times don't seem greatly reduced. made Dalaran actually not painful on my crappy old machine. Thanks! Gonna post this on my guild website with credit.
