Re: frame and data rates decreasing in recent GC versions

[Enrico Schiratti]

Hi Tomek,

I did a couple of tests, with, without FMC and MCP... comparing framerates
with 437 and 430.

Once all loading is done (and that is important, because when the programs
start up, and they start up differently in recent versions) the framerate is

nearly identical. I waited until the overview page on the ND came and went.

(Ctrl-O)

From your screenshots it seems you were not even using the MCP for the
tests.

In any case, I copied the folder and ran the 0 and the 7 with the same INI
settings... as you can see, I managed to make a screenshot of the 430
running at 50% of the full framerate once it is loaded. (they have been
resized to 800 pixel width).

I have to point out though, framerate, once aboce the data rate, is
irrelevant... what matters is the regularity of the data coming through.

Thus on this and another computer I can't see the difference in framerates
you see, and I simply wouldn't know what is causing it on your system.

Ciao

Enrico

Somehow my posts aren't getting through...

here is the text for the screenshots:
