• Jeremy Holmes Question on ID3DXEffect::SetArrayRange

  Hi, I'm currently adding shader instancing to our engine. After I changed the single world matrix in the effect file to a matrix array, I noticed a heavy performance drop. The fps went down by almost 30%. After some investigation I found that the fps changes with the size of the matrix array, so the effect framework seems to always copy all elements of the array, not only those that were actually set. I then wanted to optimize this using the ID3 ...Show All

• Mayur Bhavsar 2d GUI questions

  Hey all, Big post here, I'm in the process of creating a 2d gui in managed directx with c#, and I've run into some serious performance issues after a rather minimal interface with a few high res textures. Along the way I've wondered if I'm doing things right. I've also been really curious as to how a program like Picasa2 can do all of its rendering at lightning speeds, with pretty much zero load time no matter how big the images get, while it's ...Show All
