Problem with -dxlevel 70

[mETHODtd]

Hello, iv got a problem when using -dxlevel 70 (or mat_dxlevel 70). The problem is when i use it I can see white boxes floating through walls. Most of the time the boxes are lights, such as the lights in B tunnels .. help?

Maybe he wants to bumb up the frame rate...

I'd like a constant high framerate .. benchmarks of mine have proven that me using dx 81 is better than 90. My friends use 70 and can get a constant 100 with almost the same system.

Yup i got that too running on DX7 its very strange.
why do i run it on dx7?
because id rather have better performance that quality it also sorts gets my ping to be lower on 56k. dx8,dx9 work perfect with high framerate. but all those kool effects just distract me lol.
