[RELEASE] New OpenGL plugin NastyFFT

tsint · 2011-10-10 19:06

I suppose this plugin is based on the standard OpenGL Spectum plugin. Because both plugins are very "slow" on my HTPC, FPS is like 1 or 2. And that is on a quad core machine with 4GB RAM and 1GB NVidia GFX. ProjectM runs very smooth, and I have no clue why this plugin is so slow, any idea?

I'd be happy to help test and run this on windows 7 x64, if a binary were to be released. I don't have the dev skills to do the port, but I am a software tester and would be happy to run it through its paces.

Sorry its not based on it. But both plugins use OpenGL libs to do the drawing. I suppose your opengl is not accelerated at all or you have some miss-configuration. fps should stay at 60fps on core2duo gma950 if opengl is accelerated.

I'm sorry but I can not agree here fully Smile

Windows can use OpenGL pretty fine, just that some programs prefer Direct3D does not mean windows does not use OpenGL.

... "In all three major desktop platforms (Linux, MacOS X, and Windows), OpenGL more or less comes with the system. However, you will need to ensure that you have downloaded and installed a recent driver for your graphics hardware." ...

So I'm fine to release windows version anytime soon. Just need bit more free time.
Thanks,
Big Grin

He was more on about xbmc for windows utilising direct3d, the opengl support has been discontinued some time ago.

Clumsy so this means no opengl for visualizators in windows ?

**Clumsy** · 2011-10-25 13:16

If I am not mistaken, that is unfortunately what it means.

I would love to see this available on the windows platform. Any chance that a windows build might be made available? Big Grin
