| 20:04.58 | blast007 | macsforme: now you can test that triple display pull request: http://www.razerzone.com/project-valerie ;) |
| 20:15.08 | JeffM | oh, I have 3 displays at home |
| 20:15.22 | JeffM | 3 27's all hooked into a RX480 |
| 20:16.33 | JeffM | but if I had to buy my own work laptop, I'd get a tripple header |
| 20:17.01 | blast007 | I have 3 displays - I just don't have a desk that can hold them all ;) |
| 20:17.23 | JeffM | I got some display arms from mono-price |
| 20:17.35 | blast007 | and nVidia Surround View was quite terrible from a usability standpoint |
| 20:17.42 | JeffM | yeah it is |
| 20:18.04 | blast007 | every time I wanted to turn it on I had to re-arrange the order of the displays |
| 20:18.27 | JeffM | I had a dual GPU card and it did not like that |
| 20:18.36 | JeffM | I did not have to redo the displays |
| 20:19.06 | JeffM | I don' t have the RX480 doing it's wide thing, mainly because I want my start menu on the middle screen |
| 20:19.18 | JeffM | not the OS thinking it's one big ass display |
| 20:19.53 | JeffM | for mounds, I got one of these, http://www.monoprice.com/product?c_id=109&cp_id=10828&cs_id=1082808&p_id=5400&seq=1&format=2 and two of these, http://www.monoprice.com/product?c_id=109&cp_id=10828&cs_id=1082808&p_id=5401&seq=1&format=2 |
| 20:20.12 | JeffM | just clamped them to the back of the desk |

| 20:24.16 | blast007 | I made the mistake of thinking I wanted to do triple display gaming |
| 20:24.44 | JeffM | I've done it in elite dangerous, it's fun, but it doesn't make sense for all games |
| 20:24.59 | JeffM | like it would not be good for astroneer |
| 20:26.59 | blast007 | I was kinda disappointed that it didn't work at all in most games - like, wasn't even an option |
| 20:27.16 | JeffM | yeah most games don't have code for it |
| 20:27.27 | JeffM | or they just base the width on the height |
| 20:27.36 | JeffM | they assume specific aspect ratios |
| 20:27.51 | JeffM | the best way to support it is to create a context for each display |
| 20:28.22 | JeffM | then optimally, make a sperate camera transform for each context, that knows what angle the display is from the user. |
| 20:28.33 | JeffM | then there isn't odd streching at the edges |
| 20:28.36 | blast007 | yeah. so now I just have a couple G-Sync displays that I'll probably never put to much use :) |
| 20:29.16 | blast007 | for coding and color sensitive stuff, I prefer my Dell UltraSharp |
| 20:29.19 | JeffM | computers in the bathroom! |
| 20:29.48 | blast007 | (and my GTX 660 Ti apparently can't do 144Hz) |

| 22:03.35 | the_map | I just tested, and I can run bzflag on a raspberry pi |
| 22:03.42 | the_map | it peaks at 1 fps |
| 22:03.46 | the_map | average < 1 |
| 22:05.57 | blast007 | which Pi and was that with the experimental OpenGL driver enabled? |
| 22:06.13 | the_map | RPi3, model B |
| 22:06.31 | the_map | how do I find out about the opengl? |
| 22:07.09 | blast007 | it's in the advanced settings of raspi-config |
| 22:07.50 | blast007 | iirc, you may also need to *reduce* the amount of RAM allocated to the GPU for that to work best, depending on how much you have allocated, since I believe the driver uses system memory instead of GPU memory |
| 22:09.31 | the_map | give me a few to figure out where that menu is |
| 22:09.41 | the_map | I'm running ubuntu mate on it |
| 22:09.45 | the_map | a special rpi release |
| 22:09.45 | blast007 | raspi-config is a terminal command |
| 22:10.16 | the_map | command not found |
| 22:10.25 | blast007 | as root? |
| 22:10.57 | the_map | not there either |
| 22:12.00 | the_map | installing... |
| 22:12.44 | blast007 | I have no idea if the OpenGL driver is even provided with Ubuntu |
| 22:12.50 | blast007 | I've only done it on Raspbian |
| 22:13.12 | blast007 | it's still not a really great experience even with that. Think it could *maybe* get 30 FPS on ducati style maps |
| 22:13.27 | the_map | I'm used to 30 |
| 22:15.00 | blast007 | you should stop running BZFlag on your toaster then |
| 22:15.10 | the_map | I found an option for it, but it's not telling me if it's enabled or not |
| 22:17.17 | the_map | I enabled it; bzflag is loading (in theory) |
| 22:17.43 | the_map | helps if you use the right keyboard |
| 22:20.05 | the_map | just checked both enabled and disabled; same results either way |
| 22:20.41 | the_map | oh, nvm, looks like that requires a reboot |
| 22:20.45 | the_map | waiting... |
| 22:22.05 | the_map | up to ~10 fps |
| 22:22.35 | the_map | with it enabled |
| 22:27.00 | JeffM | what's the cheapest PC with intel onboard? I see cheap laptops for under 200$ these days |
| 22:28.36 | blast007 | $100 can get you a cheap atom mini PC |
| 22:29.00 | blast007 | though mine doesn't run BZFlag all that well either |
| 22:29.12 | blast007 | I get around 30FPS there at 720p |
| 22:29.33 | the_map | I was running it fullscreen |
| 22:30.00 | blast007 | so was I |
| 22:30.17 | blast007 | and my Pi 3 is getting 30 to 60 FPS with the scoreboard and chat turned off |
| 22:31.14 | blast007 | that's at 800x480, the native resolution of the official Pi display |
| 22:35.05 | blast007 | my atom mini PC has an Atom Z3735F |
