Mali emulator framerate

Christopher Van Kirk

Is the Mali emulator framerate hardwired to max out at 60fps? I created a context, loaded up some shaders and textures, but didn't paint anything at all, just calling EglSwapBuffer(). I'm only getting 60fps doing that.

If it is hardwired like that is there any way to unlock it? I'm doing some performance optimization at the moment and it's getting in the way because my framerate is already high on the PC (as one would expect).

    Make sure that you are not vSyncing your graphics card.

    Hi cvk,

    The emulator shouldn't be locking you to VSYNC, so you might want to check your graphics driver to see if that's locking you instead, as DDd says

    Cheers!

    Hi cvk,

    At the moment the emulator will limit your framerate to the refresh rate of your display on windows. This is the default behaviour on windows. You can control this by calling eglSwapInterval(yourDisplay ,0). unfortunately this method is not yet implemented in our egl implementation. It will be implemented in the future release.

    Meanwhile, you can call wglSwapIntervalEXT(0) in your application to disable the VSync (if you are running on windows).
