Is it possible that the #frames is constant set to 60? I didn't find it in the code, but if I set the max FPS to 1000 it doesn't change. Always exactly 60 frames and a nearly idle CPU.

This is most probably due to vsync. So your framerate is limited by your monitor refresh rate.

[mhermann]

Yes, thanks!

mhermann, would you have time to wikify that tip following this model : http://xith.org/wiki/index.php/Transparency_and_Materials

Now I have the same problem with the vsync disabled :-) Is it possible that swing limits the framerate?

No Swing doesn't. Do you use a Canvas3DJPanel? If you don't have to, you shouldn't use it. Use Canvas3DPanel instead. If if you don't have a surrounding Swing environment (i.e. a standalone application), you should use Canvas3D with LWJGL or JOGL_AWT.

VSync must in any case be disabled in the driver and the Canvas3D parameters.

I use a Canvas3DPanel with the following construction infos

Code:

public static final OpenGLLayer DEFAULT_OGL_LAYER = OpenGLLayer.getDefault();
public static final DisplayMode DEFAULT_DISPLAY_MODE = DisplayModeSelector.getImplementation( DEFAULT_OGL_LAYER ).getBestMode( 1024, 768 );
public static final boolean DEFAULT_FULLSCREEN = DisplayMode.WINDOWED;
public static final boolean DEFAULT_VSYNC = DisplayMode.VSYNC_DISABLED;

[Marvin Fröhlich]

Well, assuming, that these parameters find their way to the Canvas3DPanel's constructor, the only possible reason for 60 FPS limitation is a setting of your driver.

Are any other OpenGL apps limited to 60 FPS?

Now I'm really confused    The renderToTexture-testcase runs at 60fps too. But an older version of my application runs at ~500fps (without the Canvas3DPanel)

[Marvin Fröhlich]

Well, well. Now where you said that, I doublechecked the Canvas3DPanel constructors and vsync settings were ignored . I fixed that in SVN. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks. The world is ok again
