@hazelnot modern computers still use vertical blank interrupts to indicate when it is safe to start scanning out a new frame. these come at a cadence like 60 hz, aka 16.6 milliseconds, and the game's cadence has to match that for everything to look and feel ok when stuff is in motion

@mms unfortunately, it's not.

@hazelnot these steps can be staggered in exciting ways, but let's ignore that. as far as the computer is concerned, the distance in time between frame step 1 and the end of step 4 is your latency. (your monitor will also add latency, but that's out of the game's control)

@hazelnot so, this games commonly follow a cadence more or less along these lines:

1. read input events from controller
2. update game state
3. render a new frame image
4. present the new frame to the display

steps 1 and 2 happen on the CPU. step three starts with a bunch of up front work on the CPU to schedule work on the GPU, and step 4 is usually initiated on the CPU before 3 finishes on the GPU and then some complicated stuff happens

Thanks everyone. I'm about daily, especially in the winter.

Mi sta piacendo moltissimo Lower Decks. Non gratta lo stesso prurito di Star Trek, ma è piacevolissimo.

@kaleb thanks Kaleb!
