<2> ;)
<2> </spam>
<2> these are my top pics
<2> fyi
<1> someone ban his ***!
<1> :P
<2> /ban ziggy-
<2> :D
<3> ok. but I'll open www.amazon.com and search for them myself. shoudl make no difference, right? :)
<2> :(
<2> you can search amazon at the bottom of the page
<2> ;)
<2> help a brutha out
<1> how much do you get per purchase?
<2> 5% in the UK and 4% in the US
<1> not bad at all
<2> rgr
<1> rgr? :P
<2> the rate increases as the total purchases increase
<1> roger?
<1> ah
<1> nice
<2> :D
<1> :)
<1> so Ziggy-
<1> i wanted to ask you about timer filtering
<1> do you do it, and how much? :P
<2> i clip it if its > a certain value
<1> that is a good idea too
<1> how high?
<2> i think its like 1 second
<1> the thing is... with very low cpu load, the Present() calls look like a pulse chart
<1> ah
<2> hehe
<1> so they vary between say 10-20 ms and suddenly spikes at 100 ms
<1> which i interpret as the driver/command buffer filling up
<1> and the CPU waits for the GPU
<2> well maybe you should multithread ;)
<1> maybe :/
<1> or just do more work on the CPU ;)
<1> but
<2> hehe
<1> i'm averaging my delta time over 20 frames now
<1> which seems to work a treat
<2> not a bad idea
<1> the timestamps come closer to the GPU's very even rendering rate
<1> but of course averaging has its problems
<1> oh well
<2> i find that multithreading resolves most problems
<2> and increases fps by jillians
<2> i made an infinite gr*** demo once
<2> did all the calcs, then rendered each frame
<2> i was getting like 100 fps
<2> then i did it to calculate the next frame while its rendering
<2> and the fps incraseased to 300+
<2> increased
<1> hum
<1> how is that multithreaded though?
<1> theyre still synced?
<1> couldnt you just use the async Present() in swapchain?
<1> to free up some cpu
<2> possibly :)
<2> i just chose the method that i was most comfortable with
<1> oki :)
<1> well, we might multithread, but its not a priority atm
<1> hm
<1> that is
<1> we might do multicore, but its not a pririoty
<2> :D
<2> multicore > *
<2> i got one at work
<1> :)
<1> thinking of buying an X2 at some point
<2> makes my pc at home feel like its from 1980
