Are shadows and shaders cast by brick lights and player lights impossible?

[Zeblote]

The gpu ram is extremely important, if the shadow map doesn't fit in there your shadows won't run.

I've tested some stuff before and even with Shadows it seems that Blockland is more CPU intensive. I upgraded from a GTX 550 TI (1GB memory) to an AMD Radeon 7570 (3Gb memory) and I still lag on the same maps/saves that I did with the GTX 550Ti. I could be completely wrong which I think I am but from my tests I've done it seems that it's CPU intensive.

I thought you had a 7950

By the way, in around 1 month, it is anniversary of shaders

1 year of shaders

I can't even run shaders, (Minimum causes lag and i can't see stuff)

Damn.
That's fast.

no stuff blockland is cpu intensive

your test sucks for two reasons: failure to use scientific process and get actual fps readings, and the fact that you asked the wrong question

the question was if shaders are more gpu intensive than cpu intensive
(they are, btw, but some of you handicaps can't accept that)

you asked whether blockland was "cpu intensive" with and without shaders

guess what, it is!

your test sucks and you should feel bad

do it again and take real readings

here's how you do it:

reboot your computer, run blockland with one of the gpus, then take readings of fps at all the ranges of shaders

then, replace the gpu with the other and do the same thing

voila, you now have a direct comparison of two gpus.

if there is a difference between the two (and nothing else changed) then it is gpu intensive (it is!)
if there is little to no difference between the two, it is cpu intensive.

E: now i see this bit

I could be completely wrong which I think I am

so yeah do it again and take notes and win internet points

i got a GTX 660 with 2gb video memory
damn i am very happy with this card
