And then at the screen i posted above.

:confused:

Normal maps = bump maps:

"If your texture is supposed to have depth to it, adding a normal map (aka bump map) will make the lighting on it far more realistic. (This is perhaps the main reason Doom3, FarCry, and HL2 are able to look so much better than previous games.) The normal map tells the game what direction each pixel would be facing if your texture were in 3D instead of being a flat image."

ahh, i see it now!. How about performance?, are these fps consumers?

I really have no idea, maybe a dev can give some details on that. Or somebody else?
