macsformefor anyone who was worried, I'm happy to report that BZFlag runs at a very playable 1,400 FPS on an RTX 3070 (with a Ryzen 3800X, at 1080p) ;-P04:46
macsformeor is that *too* fast to be playable, given the bouncing glitch...04:47
the_mapman I wish I could get a 1400Hz monitor :p05:11
Agatha1080p tho. Also, how much multisampling?   :P05:16
* Agatha salty in inferior GPU05:16
the_mapbeen playing Satisfactory, and my poor GTX 1660S / Ryzen 7 3700X are struggling. 30-40FPS in the main areas I've built in, dropping to 20's under some conditions. it's fine in other areas though, although I've capped to 60FPS05:26
AgathaMy RTX 2080 laptop handles bz at some stupid high framerate—always more than 60 fps; who cares—and this is at 2160p and 32x MSAA. Albeit it gets really hot really fast, and the screen is small even if it's high-res. My desktop GTX 1080 also does more than 60 fps at 16x MSAA, and this on my 1440p monitor. There just . . . isn't a lot for even a kindof old GPU to do with bz.05:33

SpringTankyou guys get frame rates?10:49
SpringTankNow do ray tracing in bzflag10:49
blast007someone on a github issue suggested raytracing :P11:05
blast007cuz yeah, let's replace our rendering code with vulkan11:06
SpringTankbzflag is weird with frame rates on some computer hardware configurations. I've gotten mixed results. I'm running a laptop that has more processing power in the CPU and graphics than one of my computers from 10 years ago and it runs worse on my laptop.11:19
SpringTankmaybe bzflag just doesn't like Intel graphics. I mean, what does anyways?11:20
blast007I think on a lot of configurations we're CPU bound11:35
SpringTankbzflag still uses a lot of CPU just for the graphics?13:05
blast007the graphics are mostly simple enough that the GPU doesn't spend much time on it13:05
