any game at 60fps
the game
Yeah? Well that’s like 40 triangles!
Any true 2D game, because the console was designed for 2D games. The SuperFX chip used for Star Fox was also used for Yoshi’s Island, which did maintain 60Hz.
Someone clearly didn’t play SNES games on the original hardware.
Yeah, slowdowns, choppy graphics, and other glitches to be had.
3 pixels on the screen that you have to squint at and use your imagination.
Hey, my imagination was pretty good in 1990!
SNES resolution was 256 x 224 with a 15 bit colour. You’re using your chrome on a 3,840 x 2,160 screen with a 32 bit colour. That’s 308x more data per frame to render. You should be really impressed that in a span of just three decades we got 300x improvement in performance.
It’s almost like having double frame buffers for 720p or larger, 16 bit PCM audio, memory safe(ish) languages, streaming video, security sandboxes, rendering fully textured 3d objects with a million polygons in real time, etc. are all things that take up cpu and ram.
I didn’t realize web browsing in Chrome required fully textured 3D objects. Not to mention playing 720p video with PCM audio in a separate app doesn’t grind everything to a halt.
I have a ThinkPad T61, a laptop from 2007, with only 4 GB of RAM. I can open Firefox with 10 tabs, including a Youtube video at 480p, and still have 1GB of RAM left. Yet people act like 8GB is unusable these days.
Is it windows or Linux based?
Linux
I think it’s sarcasm based
No? I’m being serious
10 tabs and a single video playing at 480p is usable to you? ._.
Linux helps enormously to make older PCs useable
We get it. Linux is the greatest thing ever. Good grief.
