hardware accelleration libraries?
« on: June 23, 2010, 04:54:09 pm »

Just out of curiosity, which/whose libraries are being used or has the code been developed in-house?  Is acceleration fully self-contained in MC or do we need a certain minimum driver level on our vid cards or??

Can you share benchmark numbers highlighting the differences (cpu load, frame rates, etc) between old non-accelerated and accelerated with Intel, AMD, or Nv hardware?

I'm thinking that this feature, well implemented and reliable/mature, is what I've been waiting for to upgrade/update.

thanks

We use DirectX for all hardware accelerated rendering.

The 3D engine, so to speak, is all JRiver code.

so as long as we have DX10 or better all is well?

Any plans to get 'extreme' with the gpu acceleration a la OpenCL?
