Remove any render-intensive objects your avatar is wearing (such as sculptie hair, objects with 'bling', very detailed objects) or change them for simpler accessories More information.

Turning this off may slightly improve lag, but it is a personal preference. The checkbox for 'local lights' will display localised light sources (such as 'spotlights' or face lights). Save the various settings as Graphics Presets

when exploring, turn 'Terrain', 'Trees', 'Flexi' and 'Objects' up.

When terraforming you can turn 'Terrain' up.

When editing appearance or trying on clothes turn 'Avatar' and perhaps 'Objects' and 'Flexi' up, everything else down.

Reduce any settings you aren't using in you current activity: If you really mess up there is RESET button on the Advanced panel that will return all settings to your default. Experiment to find what works best with your hardware. A high quality setting for photos and a high performance setting for combat games. With Graphics Presets you can create settings for various activities.

Disable Shadows (none) for a huge performance gain.

Disable Ambient Occlusion for a small gain.

Advanced Lighting Model Leave enabled to adjust settings in group.

Atmospheric shaders leave enabled to adjust settings within the group.

Disable Avatar cloth - makes mesh clothing ripple in wind if your hardware supports it.

The viewer decides at launch if it can be enabled. Leave enabled to allow adjusting setting within the group.

In Basic shaders this includes Atmospheric shaders from the previous section.

Reducing and disabling these generally improves performance and degrades image quality.

Flexiprims affects 'tentacle' like prims and clothing prims that bend - performance gain varies by scene content.when building or shopping you might turn up 'Objects' and turn everything else down. Objects affects every mesh thing in SL - performance gain varies by mesh content in scene, e.g.Trees affects Linden trees appearance - no performance gain when no trees are around.Terrain Mesh Detail affects the ground - very little performance gain.The amount of performance improvement is highly dependent on scene content. Reduce all these settings watching the quality of your render and stats.Only enable Enable Texture Compression if you have a weak video card with limited VRAM.Change Enable OpenGL Vertex Buffer see if it makes a difference.Set Texture Memory to the max (probably your default).Balance quality to your taste and performance watching Viewer Stats Reduce other settings in this section.Reduce Max # of non-impostors - this is the number of avatars to render.

Post process quality only affects glow.Max particle count less is faster when particle are present.Draw Distance is the same as in the previous section.Click Advanced Settings (lower right button in panel).The changes listed are for improving performance and most degrade quality. Changing them will improve quality and some will reduce performance as increased. If you have already made changes or have the Quality & Speed setting turned down many of these setting will be at their minimum. If you have already made changes start at 1 or else 3. Open the Preferences Panel and select the Graphics tab. Use the Viewer Statistics panel (Ctrl-Shift-1) to see how each change affects your performance. If you want more balanced setting for quality-performance try changing these settings step-by-step. Reduce Avatar Maximum Complexity - Most avatars are Disable Atmospheric Shaders - This is an extreme hit on quality.Disable Advanced Lighting Model - This is a drastic hit on quality.Reduce the Draw Distance slider to minimum (64m).If this doesn't help enough, step by step try adding each of these changes:

If you are running at 'high' or 'ultra' settings, try reducing in steps to 'medium' or 'low'.Save the initial settings a 'default' Graphics Preset (icon in the upper left of the viewer). Starting in 2016 the viewer attempts to set the best quality-performance settings for your hardware. You can't do much about how many people are using the internet or SL at the same time as you, but what you can do is help your computer to work 'smarter'. how many scripts are running in the sim.How much is going on in the sim you are in, e.g.Your broadband/internet connection speed and busy-ness.2.3 Computer enhancements to improve SL performance/reduce lagĪ number of factors contribute to what we all know as 'lag':.
