that's why in Assassin's Creed, while you have plenty of people around in the
streets, once you scale high buildings and can see plenty of the town, you only
see people (in LOD simpler models) in the immediate vicinities.  Far away town
is empty. :)

But shouldn't image decoding be done by the GPU?

also, remember it's a 5 year old hardware already...
