new graphics card and I'm so happy

I do agree completely with you! 😉

Firstly, AVS is indeed one of the most fascinating apps I have ever come across (it helps to be a programmer with a strong interest in electronic music!).

I run AVS 2.6 at 384x285 on my P3-866 (128Mb SDRAM) at work and get around 20fps, which is bearable. We have an 1GHz Athlon (512Mb SDRAM) at home which does about 50% better. Then I got myself a gaming machine 3 months ago: XP 2100+, 512Mb DDR-333, 128Mb Radeon 9500 Pro. 😎 now I get the same frame rate when running fullscreen at 800 x 600 x 32bpp (80% screen height).

I think it would be so amazing if it were possible to have software and hardware-rendering. This would push the complexity up quite a large bit though: using an API like OpenGL or Direct3D, plus somehow ensuring that the presets could safely be switched between software and hardware.

Most of the effects, avs uses may not be done with 3d hardware. And those who could, will probably never as it's unlikely that there will be a really innovative update to avs.

But if you want, you could write ape's that use 3d hardware to render something.

[edit] Welcome to the AVS Forums, Flarkit

Because a framerate limiter can be passed with the preset is much smarter then a comment saying "best to watch at xx.xfps"

Yes, but i was referring to Anubis's "problems" of the avs's being too fast for him. Yes the framerate limiter could help people like Degnic, who is always yapping about the framerate O_o , but still i don't think it would be such a great ape. If you need make effects that are dependable on some certain framerate... well booh on you then 😛

And yes i yap about the framerate too, but my policy always is "The faster, the better" and no framerate limiter can help there 🙄

And anubis, just use a bigger window or use wa3, that should do the trick 😉

I have to run AVS at at least 800*600 in WA3 to get som speeds to watch the AVS, it's going way too fast otherwise 😛. All of my older presets are so weird now.

Well, booh on me then. 😛

IMHO you just don't get how valueable this would be.

But maybe you'll change your opinion about this if it's done. (Hurry, Shreyas 😉)

I haven't heard about any progress in it for quite some time, is Shreyas still working on it?

He volunteered to do it, i hope so at least. Otherwise i'll have to get my ass up. awww

ToDo List:

-Finish Hotlist 2.3 and get it ready for release
-Continue working on CodeMate
-Start work on the limiter.ape
-Go to work every day
-Organize next Party / VJ set
-Do some PC-DJ'ing (to get better)
-Get a GF
-Care about RL
-Jeeez and after all try to get some sleep!

This is waaay too much, i'd need 36h a day...

[Edit]Did i happen to miss the tournament preset? 😔
Btw, order != ranking. [/Edit]

lol @ point 7 & 8. I do that already. It's great to have a girlfriend, they force you to care about real life. How about that 2 in 1 😉. Oh well, good luck. 😛

Hey, not that i would'nt care about RL, i do very much, but things need time to be done, ya know. I dont need a GF to force me caring like you 😛 but after beeing a single for half a year, a new one would be nice 😉

I don't need a GF to force me to care about RL, but it does help 😉. I do a lot in RL without my girlfriend with it, like sports etc, so I'm capable of living a real life as well. Woohoo! I'm multi-talented 😁. What I do with my girlfriend is private, so don't bother asking.

I won't ask, but i'll have a guess:

This should come pretty close.

Or this one?

Maybe this one...

😛

lol, that's some of the many things 😉. Where do you find such smileys? I love 'em.

Within our community forum.

Here is the full Smiley List.

sweet 🙂 thanks.
