Performance Impact: None
r_colorbits
Sets the video color depth bits. Lowering this to 16-bit was popular in 1999 for performance, today 32 full range, no banding.
💡
Pro Tip
Stick with 32-bit — anything lower creates ugly color banding on rail beams and quad glows that can actually hide enemies in dark corners.
