, omg I did not know this feature, after adding it to the .fx files I now have twice as much fps in my project... blush


Hmm In my case it didn't make a difference. In my project when having for example four animated characters in the screen fps drop from 60 to around 30. After setting #define BONES in the .fx if got the same performance. Did you make any other thanges? I noticed that when disabling sun shadows fps get way higher, but not sure if gpu bones rendering is used for shadow mapping views too.
