Which is more taxing...

...on my GPU?

Do any tech-saavy people around here know exactly what adjusting Ship Detail does? Like, what differences exactly, occur when you adjust it? I know it looks better on highest than it does on high, but I can't catch what it changes exactly.

And secondly, which detail is going to more heavily tax my GPU when I turn it up: Ship Detail, or Ship Bump? I'm just curious as to which one is most taxing point for point, so I can choose which one to increase the most so I can have the best ratio of quality : performance.

Also, what exactly does Ship Bump do? I know it seems to add more little decals and what have you (which is nice), but is there anything else? Which effect most radically alters the appearance of a ship, bump or detail?

I am sorry that this thing seemed to post 5 times... it was unintentional. Originally it posted before I was even finished typing my message (this is the edited version); apparently it posted multiple times on top of posting before I was finished.

So, once again, I am sorry for the multiple post. I dont know wtf happened, and I cannot find a way to delete them.

Regards,
Itharus

Sounds like a Dev question. All I know is Ship Bump is probably pretty extensive since it's disabled by default, I believe.
