New Graphics Mode

    I'm not suggesting a new view mode like Fire/Nothing/Velocity, etc. I am suggesting a graphics mode for people who have bad GPU/CPU/Low RAM. It would simply reduce texture detail in exchange for increased fluidity. What do you think?

    there are no textures, the best you'll get is nothing display.

    Like Cracker says. Even then, the amount of CPU spent rendering the particles on the screen is peanuts compared to the time spent calculating what the particles themselves do on each frame.

    Removing visuals wouldn't make any difference.

    @m16piggy
    Doesn't nothing mode work for you?

    oh fine but hotkeys are easier. i suppose we do still have most of the letters.

    i would like a view that combines pressure and fire OR fire and fancy. why? because fire displays metal heat glow and fancy displays radioactive and water glow
