Hum. I know it uses OpenGL, which should answer my question of ENIGMA using hardware accelerated graphics.. But how fast will functions such as surfaces from GM work in ENIGMA? I always remember having to limit game processing in order to have a simple surface effect going else the game would be running a stable 4 fps  Any response is a good response :] Unless it's like "cheese" or something. |

As fast as any C++ and OpenGL using game uses surfaces. Which, looking at the titles out there, means you have nothing to worry about with dual GTX260s.

Except implementing those for general purpose use will be a bitch. Try to run a valve game on the typical GM user's computer, I dare you. And hell, Valve's games are DX, which at least guarantees SOMETHING. Older users can tell you, surfaces errored for half the people that downloaded them.
Don't worry though, with the right extensions, they'll run great on *decent* cards, and they'll at least work on the rest.

Yeah, the majority of the PC userbase has sucky and broken Intel integrated graphics.
Tell me, which cards support the required extensions? If you're basing this on an Nvidia subset on the basis that that's 'standard' (like Wine does) then AMD cards will have issues.

I was originally. Now my idea is to use first my NVidia to get everything working nice, and then my ass-sore Intel chip that's never heard of GL to get it just working.

Sorry, is that directed at me or a continuation of what I said? Josh, can you make some sort of 3D function test program? I just know AMD cards are going to have issues, especially under Linux, since AMD's open driver doesn't really implement anything above GL1.3 for some reason. |

Oh, wow, I didn't realize this. It's a continuation of what you said. :/ |

I should've assumed as much that if it used OpenGL it would obviously be hardware accelerated Was just wondering cos a few bloom algorithms I used in GM were painfully, painfully slow due to crappy software crap. Ah, well I suppose this gives a whole layer of freedom. Can't wait for r4  It'll be a blast making cross platform games ^.^ |
