was the option taken out? i finally got my drivers updated so i can support shaders but now im only getting about 17 fps is the frameskipping still an option cause that would help at least a little right?

Try to run with 30 frames instead of 60.

Please wait until 3.8, it's not going to be remarkably long and marked speed improves for nonshaders. Along with decent looking nonshaders.

what are nonshaders? lol u just mean with the shaders turned off. i just wanna make it run a little smoother with them on. i have no problem waiting til 3.8 i was just lookin for a quick solution :P o and i tried 30 fps instead of 60 and that only got me like 2 or 3 more frames per second

just dowload 3.8 beta and dont use shaders, it looks pretty good without shaders on 3.8 beta...
