Is it possible to force maximum use of the video card with ogre3d?

hello everyone !
Is it possible to force maximum use of the video card with ogre3d?

I'm testing the example: LightAttenuation.pb, and you can see that the video card is bottlenecking and having FPS drops as shown in the screenshot below:



Are there ways to fix this, forcing the video card to use more power or is it a configuration error on my video card?

MyPC specs:

Code: Select all

Processor: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11800H @ 2.30GHz (16 CPUs), ~2.3GHz
Graphics Integrated: Intel(R) UHD Graphics
Graphics Dedicated: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU
Memory: 16384MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 16164MB RAM
DirectX Version: DirectX 12

I think your desktop resolution is too high for this example, and therefore can't keep up with the render. Try it in true fullscreen with a lower resolution, or in windowed mode with a smaller rendertexture+quad+ortho camera.

Which of the two adapters do you uses for Ogre? The NVIDIA will likely be the faster one.
Also, make sure you have the latest OpenGl drivers installed for the adapter you're using...

How do I change the resolution in case of full screen in this example?

Can I select which adapter to use in ogre3d?

Use openscreen() instead of openwindowedscreen(), and use it with a choosen resolution for a true fullscreen.

I noticed slower perfs than usual when enabling shadow, we will try to look at that after 6.20

I'm doing some tests to find out if there is a problem with drivers or system configuration.

[skinkairewalker]

Is it possible to choose which video card to use manually or automatically to obtain the best performance?

Hello Skipper! How you change the graphic card ? Is this possible?
Can put an example please. Thanks

Is there a method to force Windows to dedicate maximum performance to a specific application? The question is: why not integrate this into Ogre or some feature that forces operating systems to dedicate full power to our PB application?

this is not a GPU problem
shadows and skeletal animations have been very slow since PB 6.20, so I've made 2 functions to manage them via shader

Also using the other GPU is a Windows thing, it shouldn't be the app which decide which one to use.
