Video games have optimized rendering pipelines and assets.
Discord is showing emojis, images that are 10MB+ each, and all kinds of user generated crap at high res that it doesn't have control over. Personally I'd prefer to go back to just text.
- 10000truths 4y agoOf course they have control over it, it’s literally their own platform. There’s no reason that Discord can’t benefit from the same optimizations that video games use. If a AAA title can figure out how to render 100000+ polygons UV wrapped with several 4K resolution textures in the span of 16 ms, then a $15B valued company can certainly figure out to display emojis and large images without turning your notebook into a DIY stovetop.
- bobobob420 4y agoI assume Discord is built with electron. That should answer all your questions. Personally i dont use web apps on desktop..use discord in browser never had any issues
- snickerbockers 4y agohow much CPU/GPU power do you think it takes to display an image? Do you think this is something that video games have never had to do? And if Discord is rendering a 10MB+ image then that's definitely a problem with discord. 1920x1080 at 8bpp isn't even 10MB.
