dxlevel 80 leads to more FPS because DirectX 8.0 shaders in Source use cheaper features.
If you really *must* have DX 8.0 support then check earlier/later DX SDK. I use DX SDK August 2009. I copied fxc.exe psa.exe and vsa.exe earlier so I might be using earlier version. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
