Subsequent reloads of the same level will yield better performance and therefore we recommend that you run any benchmark twice and to take the second of the two runs for benchmarking purposes since this most closely represents the usual user experience. Enabling normal map compression will have prolonged execution the first time running through a level due to initial compression phase occurring in real time through the level. This variable will not be saved when restarting the game. Enabling this feature during the game may take some time – the PC may appear to freeze. To enable it, type r_TexNormalMapCompressed 1 in the console after loading a level. Requirements: NVidia: Geforce FX Family or better, ATI: x800 card or better.
