So I had these enabled and was seeing some GPU usage. I realize most suggest it for Episode 2 /3, but I had it on in 1 for the sake of having it, as I figured if it helped with the sequels, be good for the first as well.
So I was hitting 99% GPU usage, even if not much was on the screen. The thing is, be it native resolution, or 4xNative + 16x AA, the FPS and GPU usage was the same.
Turned out it was the 8-bit textures option. Disabled them and same scene is now 15% GPU usage. So what exactly did that option remove?
Also wish I could somehow get rid of this stutter. Is it Aero causing it? The game has micro-stutters that most people would ignore, but I can tell it, like a frame syncing and such. Oddly enough, other games like Persona 3 / 4 & Dragon Quest 8 don't have it...hrm.
