*** Delusional <Delusional!~Delusiona@unaffiliated/delusional> has joined #bzflag00:42
blast007likely doesn't thermal throttle until more like 90 to 100C00:45
macsformeoh, he was gone00:47
macsformeDelusional: 82 C is not that hot for a CPU or GPU while gaming00:47
blast007is this an iMac or is it a laptop?00:48
DelusionalI’m used to the fan almost never coming on.  imac 27” late 2013.   I think it found out i was looking at a new one.00:49
blast007heh00:49
Delusionalthe fan never ran during BZ before, usually 145F00:50
macsformedid your framerate change?00:51
DelusionalI get that temp from the “Platform Contoller Hub” which is almost always the hottest temp of the 30+  sensors this app checks.00:52
Delusionaldidnt really look at the framerate.  checking it now…175…00:53
Delusionalbut i have fpsLimit set in config.config00:53
Delusionalset to 6000:54
macsforme/localset saveEnergy 1?00:54
Delusionalok, that turns fps down to 50.. lets let it heat up for a few00:56
blast007is 1 for FPS limit and 2 for vsync?  why not use vsync if you're setting the limit to 60 anyway?00:57
blast007then you'd get rid of tearing00:57
macsformegood point00:57
blast007(I guess the main reason would be if you're dipping below 60FPS, but seeing it was doing 175, that's probably not an issue for most maps)00:59
DelusionalsaveEnergy is keeping it under 160.. 15501:02
blast007do you have the energy saver option set to Vertical Sync?01:04
DelusionalfpsLimit 60 in my config.cfg definitely appears to be non-working…  energy saver says… FPS limit01:08
blast007use vertical sync01:08
Delusionallinear mipmap linear… anisotropis, some random number, 3…..  basicly a random number on anti-aliasing too01:09
Delusionalok i’ll try that setting01:10
blast007that will sync the redraw to your display's refresh, which is likely 60Hz, so you'll end up with a limit of 60FPS anyway, except with the added benefit that you won't have tears in the display from a frame being swapped out halfway through drawing a new image to the screen01:10
Delusionalyeah, FPS seems locked at 59 now01:11
Delusionaland temp holding at 155.. this machines fan goes into turbo around 16501:14
Delusionalit’s running but you cant hear it at 15501:15
Delusionalthankyou gentlemen01:15
Delusionalso…. set energy saver to vertical sync also applies an FPS limit?01:24
blast007https://www.maketecheasier.com/what-is-vsync/01:28
blast007to be clear, it's *not* using the fpsLimit you have set01:39
blast007it's matching the frame drawing to what your screen will refresh at, which is 60Hz01:39
Delusionalok, why wasnt the FPSLimit in my config.cfg working?01:40
blast007did you have energy saver set to 'off' before?01:40
Delusionalyes01:41
Delusionalaah01:41
Delusionalaah01:41
blast007:)01:41
Delusionaland lastly, does my mac know that I was looking at new ones…. well it does NOW01:41
