Frames per Second in FPS demo

by Will O-Reagan · in Torque X 2D · 05/02/2008 (9:47 pm) · 2 replies

Is the Frames per second accurate in the FPS demo? Without changing the logic or anything it seems really high, like 500 in some cases like at the title screen.

    Yes. Go and download Fraps on the PC side and you will see it matches exactly.

    The answer do your question, obviously, is that Torque does rock. You really are getting 500 FPS.

    I should point out, though, that this is well over your likely monitor refresh rate :-). Still, that's leaves you with plenty of room to eat up system resources purely for pleasure, and still have an acceptable framerate for your game.

    On a modern graphics card doing something simple like blitting some bitmaps to the screen is trivial so I would expect to see high framerates.
