I was surprised to see "By default, GPU rendering is enabled on Mac, and disabled on Windows and Linux". Is there any reason I shouldn't manually enable GPU rendering on Windows/Linux?
- ben-schaaf 5y agoWindows and Linux have a much larger variety in hardware and drivers and much lower prevalence of high-dpi monitors. So we felt that for now it would be better to leave it disabled by default. This may change in the future.
- joshschreuder 5y agoIs there a DPI threshold that would benefit most from GPU support?
- ben-schaaf 5y agoAs always it depends on the hardware. I've personally found that things start to get slow at >1440p.
- deagle50 5y agoIs there a typing latency penalty to GPU rendering?
- ben-schaaf 5y agoLatency in fact would be reduced due to faster rendering. Remember that it needs to go to the GPU eventually anyway in order to output to a display.

- bruce343434 5y agoCan you at least turn it on this time? I stopped using ST because scrolling was so incredibly choppy on linux. It always lagged a second behind and felt so unresponsive. Edit: just read the patch notes, the ans is yes. Awesome!
