Optimal Direct3D frames ahead setting
Posted: 05 Apr 2013 05:47
An older system is still running WinXP SP3 with AGP video/Nvidia 97.xx drivers. On the advanced driver properties/additional Direct3D settings page is an option for "Max frames to render ahead". Is there a best setting for VLC, and if so, what is it? Adjusting it downward from its default of 3 to 1 or 0 makes a major difference in keyboard and mouse response in games and other video players, at the expense of overall frame rate. Does it matter for VLC? Thanks.
