Current situation-
---Voodoo4-------||-----------Crappy processor
-----------------||---------------------------
Rasterisation----||---------------game loop
-----------------||---------transform and lighting
-----------------||-------------------AI
-----------------||---------------other stuff
Situation I want -
------Geforce 3--------||--------crappy processor
-----------------------||------------------------
----rasterisation------||-----------game loop
Transform & lighting---||--------------AI
-----------------------||----------other stuff
in this situation the balance is more equal. the work is better shared between the two processors (as opposed to the situation now - the cpu is doing nearly all the work.
situation you want -
------Geforce 3--------||----crappy processor--------Me
-----------------------||---------------------||-----__
----rasterisation------||-------game loop-----||Empty wallet
Transform & lighting || AI---------||-Fried brain
-----------------------||------other stuff----||
Or
------Geforce 3---||-----------crappy processor
------------------||---------------------------
---In the garden--||---on fire. along with rest of computer
[-peep-]! I just previewed and it got rid of all my bloody spaces! now the 'graphic' is messed up. I've put dashes in to correct. this post took far longer than I first thought it would!
Previewed it again - the font is not fixed width! so it still looks messed up. fancy having a fixed width message entry box for a non-fixed width message board.
