what exactly is gpu memory for and why does minecraft not seem to make use of it
we'd assumed it'd be used for like, textures and framebuffers and stuff but minecraft appears to load all of those into main memory
@Felthry minecraft (at least on java) is kinda jury-rigged to just about work. im assuming it has no real API for rendering past opengl, so what it can really do is super limited. past that surface level explanation, i wouldnt know
@Felthry to add, theres no real imperative to adapt the java ver to dx11/12 because microsoft's focused on their cross-platform build of the game, and that'd just end up reducing the amount of win10 installs lmfao
@pearshapes but mods :<
@Felthry yah,, honestly i dont even know what minecraft does with ram, i give it 12gb for a modpack and it tries to eat 10. even tho the individual files are like, not even a gig. i think it's just spooling spaghetti
@Felthry i'm not 100% certain but i'd believe that notch just sucks at coding
