Do you use OpenGL in Zandronum?

[Konda]

I'm curious about the percentage of the community using OpenGL. Please take your time and answer the poll...

[Ijon Tichy]

Yes because my framerate falls to 80FPS in Software mode, from 700FPS in OpenGL.

[Konda]

Yeah, on Doom2 map01 with no mods it shows me 400FPS in OpenGL vs 95FPS in Software. It sure as hell doesn't look like 400FPS, but that's your casual ATI on Linux.

[Konar6]

No because it's not friends with Windows gamma/resolution.

[Monsterovich]

Always, but if opengl lags on ultra large maps (thx graffy), then software sometimes can work faster.

[Stiff]

Yes becouse I use alot of OpenGL only stuff in my maps (Dynamic Lights, 3D Slopes) wich makes everything sexier.

[Klofkac]

The monitor has some vertical frequency. The framerate cannot be rendered higher than the Vsync.

[Zakken]

Yes. Never had a problem with it, except for Zandronum/GZDoom's bad optimization in some areas.

[jwaffe]

Opengl never lags for me but I prefer the look of software, so I use software unless the mod has models, etc.

[Laggy Blazko]

Sometimes. It seems to work better (except for the windows resolution thing), but I prefer Software because it feels more like "DooM" to me.
The same thing applies to my preference of WinQuake over GLQuake.

[MrSetharoo]

I only use OpenGL if I really want to play a mod that has models in it

[ibm5155]

open gl, cus.
AMD HD 8870 is a kickass gpu, 3D slopes, 3D models (even if limited), Dynamic Lights, True Color, True Free Look.
And software render is a cave age thing, opengl does the same thing as software render, but better, faster and better. (so for me, people who use software render uses computer with wheel mouse and a pentium mmx)

edit:

Always, but if opengl lags on ultra large maps (thx graffy), then software sometimes can work faster.

maybe because 50% on that map is not being displayed (ex;dynamic lights 3d slopes), the gpu is really old, or you need a better gpu since your processor can do a faster thing than it...

or you're using an intel gma xD

edit2:
the actual opengl render is outdated on zan, the latest gzdoom render increased =~20 - 30fps compared to zan one

[Ninjamander]

I always use OpenGl because is more sexy and my view of software mode is the same as imb5115 (the post above me).

[Espio]

No. Never. Only on GZDoom.

[-Jes-]

GTX670M = Infinite fps in OGL.

Enough said.

[mr fiat]

all the time, i cant stand the distortion in software when looking up or down. and ofc texture filters so its easyer on my eyes.

Same reason for me too. Basically i like the features opengl has.

[AkumaKing]

I use this all the time since it looks nicer and allows models to be used.

[Kara Kurt]

^ That.

[Wirtualnosc]

I use it whenever I can although it's sad how it works with gamma...
