there has any tricks to improve FPS for old PC?

[tentus]

Now that I've got that off my chest, it's probably a video card cap: many systems will refuse to go much above 60 fps, to avoid overheating. My Asus M51 does that, which is kinda irritating but makes sense (makes it much harder to optimize code ).

Argh, and my system refuses to do vsync. So everyone who decides to not use dt and assume max FPS makes a game I can't play.

But, are you really sure you want to be playing a game that refuses dt in favor of that assumption?

I know I wouldn't.

BTW, how does everyone tell Löve to ignore the max FPS anyway? I've never been able to get my projects to break past 60FPS. It caps it there.

(The vsync option doesn't seem to work for me. I get 60 no matter what)

maybe there from love source code has clue for break FPS limit,
something like "frame skip" stuff.

every frame must load from graphic buffer,
if there have frame manager mekanism mybe we can skip some frame before display it to screen to gain more FPS.
at large scale game this can be usefull.

( sry for my english )

Code: Select all

t.screen.vsync = false

in love.conf in conf.lua works every time for me. *shrug*

success = love.graphics.setMode( 800, 600, false, false, 0 ) also does it

Works. Robin's code above was wrong. Wrong! It was missing the .screen part.

I most humbly apologise. That's what I get for not looking at the documentation before pressing "Submit".

No harm was done. At least I know I wasn't crazy.

There are also some graphics drivers which boldly ignore any settings made by users or applications.

Its the card/driver "problem" (and it is "by design"). BTW, you should not really count on FPS to measure your code. Check those:
