large fps hit when using embm?

[surferpop]

One of the threads in the game forum
mentions a 50% hit in expendable when
bump mapping is turned on.Has anyone
else experienced this?

Take a look at my article on <a href="http://www.murc.ws/reviews/MillenniumG400/BumpCost.html">bump map performance</a>.

I'm guessing that's with the Max?

Ant,
Thanks for your response and the benchmarks.
The embm hit seems very reasonable especially
in light of the 50% hit mentioned elsewhere.
