Haha took me a couple reads to figure out what your problem was, I meant to say the old LOW is probably better.

The line has to be drawn somewhere. | ||

Now the textures come with default information, so if settings are set to low the card doesn't compute much since the information is already present? I edited the OP because thanks to user Existor it's now clear that the alternate textures – with premade bumpmaping – are delivered with the patch files. | ||

Diffuse lighting however should be independent of the camera and only follow the light source. Common bumpmapping solutions calculate both parts.I don't know if I understand this completely. Normal mapping wouldn't have anything to do with the camera, it would only affect how the light reacts on the texture, and in most cases is used specifically to alter the way geometry works, not to handle lighting at all. They might be reacting to lighting, but the light source it's all mapped to (I assume the light box, which is how I assume SC2 gets it's universal lighting). | ||
