Emmeth Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I think the 3d parts of the game will be hardware rendered by the GPU instead of being software rendered by the OS. It is supposed to be quicker if you tick that option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porthos Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Menus and such also get rendered by the GPU. I experienced slight lag with GPU, and none with Software. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
digsy11 Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 It actually appears faster on the software setting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mine Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I get GPU Rendering starting the Editor. Then it´s just shows a black screen ???? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakers Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 It means that the Graphics card is used to display the interface as well as the match engine. Much like web browsers now use the graphics cards to display web pages. Ergo, if you have a poor GPU then it might be slower than the software setting. Also, if it's not coded correctly, it will be slower than the software version. I have noticed that the font is very blurry when I choose software rendering.

daylight Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 I have already reported that even with a good gaming card it still appears to be quite a bit slower than the software render. Using the 6870 card it does go quite a bit slower,not sure if anyone else with other cards have noticed this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakers Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 Have you checked the clock and memory speeds in catalyst when you're just looking around your squad? Could be that it's in idle mode. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
css_matt Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 It will only be quicker if you have a decent enough GPU, not very good one needed mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
