    Well after googling them and having a wander it made my head spin....and i get the general impression that unless you're doing a PhD in advanced graphical design, you're never going to need to know :rolleyes: Whats the issue?

    Well, in stronghold 2, I can choose to check multipass shaders and early culling, but I don't know what they do.

    Thanks Dreamer. Didn't know that stuff.

    So then my 2600HD would or wouldn't need to enable this?
