This was announced earlier this month. Pretty exciting with the implications of simultaneous multi-threading. Hopefully it mitigates FPS death.

What are your thoughts?

    Answer for me is; it depends. Putnam wrote a message in The Other Forum where she said that SDL2 is required to provide ‘any kind of hardware acceleration at all’. So it depends how many pixels you’re pushing, and with what.

    For me on my 1920×1080 laptop with onboard graphics, no noticeable change.

    For me on my 2560×1440 desktop with discrete graphics card, scrolling goes from very noticeably choppy to absolutely buttery smooth.

      That’s good to hear. I play on the same resolution with a 2070super and I had awful interface FPS pretty much from the start of every game. I haven’t tested the game in a few weeks though.
