Hi, I''m writing a demo in which the camera is moving around some trees. I used mipmapping for the tree model''s textures and i noticed that when the camera moves closer to the mipmapped texture the fps drops down by almost 30%. I''m using a 256x256 pixels bitmap for the texture. When i''m viewing the tree models from a distance there seem to be no problem with the fps. Anyone ever had this problem and knows how to fix it ?

Does it also happen when you don''t use mipmaping ? It seems pretty logicial : when you come closer to the tree, it takes a bigger area on the viewport, therefore eating more fillrate and bringing the FPS down.
