Some of us like to play Doom3 on integrated GPU hardware. For example I am playing it on my A8-7100 R5 integrated Kaveri GPU (which only has 256 cores at about 500Mhz each) and frame rates are very smooth *without* soft shadows.\r\n\r\nFrom the README I could take that soft shadows are implemented using *taps*(Samples?) where you have defaulted them to 16 to make shadows more pretty on modern 2014 hardware. Could this be included as an option where users can choose from how many taps to use?\r\n\r\nIn  the README it also states that using only one tap quadruples the frame rate when using soft shadows. I am looking for such an option, because with the current implementation I only get 23FPS on average which is a bit too low for my liking.\r\n\r\nBtw, I am aware of the \"r_ShadowMapSamples\" console option and tried to change this inside the game to different values. But it seem as if this isn't really affecting anything, neither visually nor in terms of altered frame rate performance - which is odd.\r\nThanks - Eric"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/RobertBeckebans/RBDOOM-3-BFG/issues/comments/69036376","html_url":"https://github.com/RobertBeckebans/RBDOOM-3-BFG/issues/211#issuecomment-69036376","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/RobertBeckebans/RBDOOM-3-BFG/issues/211","id":69036376,"user":{"login":"nbohr1more","id":6946092,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/6946092?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/nbohr1more","html_url":"https://github.com/nbohr1more","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nbohr1more/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nbohr1more/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nbohr1more/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nbohr1more/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nbohr1more/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nbohr1more/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nbohr1more/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nbohr1more/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nbohr1more/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-01-07T15:22:40Z","updated_at":"2015-01-07T15:22:40Z","body":"Yes, even vanilla Doom 3 has puzzling performance issues in current AMD drivers.
