This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Why does OOP call it a FPS? Is it to gain some frames per second?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's one of the program's common usages, yeah. Among other things (like integer scaling for pixel-based games), it can be used to:

  • render a game at a lower "internal" resolution and then apply one of several upscaling options to make up the difference, improving performance and hence "free FPS", and/or
  • generate intermediate frames between "real" frames, which I guess you could describe as "free FPS" (but the quality of the intermediate frames will be so-so - there's lots of tests and stuff of frame generation more broadly if you're interested!)

edit: added frame generation
