The compiler combines the vis leafnodes in your map in vis clusters, and using -fast vis the compiler only checks visibility between those clusters. I found that in some cases, this can still lead to considerable fps savings with a compile time of only a few minutes (and a visdatasize of 1.6 MB)

yep

, I was thinking of making leaks...

I'm doing that right now, with a few man vis areas, since the vis compiler virtually draws everything execpt for farplane culling of course. Right now fps is 30-60 with full vis, now I'm going to see what is like doing -fast. The man vis I did are in high traffic areas with 40 fps so I thought I'd spruce it up a bit. THose areas with 30 are mostly not in the main drag so I'm not worried about it...

Well making leaks is always a bad idea... better just skip the vis compile completely.

Yeah, now that I know I can do -fast I'll be doing that from now on.

Also is an average of 30-60 fps on a 64mb vid card with the highest possible settings good?

Yup that's pretty decent I think. Better yet look at the triangle rates (wt value at the bottom of your screen). Anything below 15000 is excellent

some areas hit 30,000 but some go down to 5,000 so an average around 20,000 so thats not to bad
