why is getting opengl a pain

[Wadmodder Shalton]

With GZDOOMs High Quality Resize multiplier mentioning what more video memory is needed, I wonder if the more video memory requirements for 2x (4 Times), 3x (9 Times), 4x (16 Times), 5x (25 Times) & 6x (36 Times) was never even implemented in any consumer Video Card devices, to which it suffered the same fate with AGP 3.0 & 3.5 with the lack of 0.8 volts in motherboards.

Video memory has been something that exists in video cards, since there's been video cards. That dialogue is telling you how much more memory it'd require than usual for the high quality resize option you've picked. So if your textures take up 100MB normally, with that resize mode they will now take up 3600MB, or 3.51GB.

and an i3 is more old than an i5, so i dont know...

 

Nope, i3 and i5 and i7 etc are just the line of the processor. i3 is cheaper than i5 which is cheaper than i5, so on. But every new generation has a new release of i3, i5, i7 etc.

 

Anyway, this is my OpenGL status. It's also a decade old, yet it supports newer OpenGL. And it still sucks.

Look, it might even be good for you, but it's hardly enough for a lot of things I would like to do, like video recording (then again OBS was made with streaming in mind, so it tries to encode in real time, which is retarded). I don't know if it's because I live in the third world, or if I'm juts setting higher expectations than usual anyway.

What's the use of 6x xBRZ if you have regular, blur everything out trilinear on anyways lol

Trilinear doesn't blur though. It interpolates. The effect is lessened when the texture is bigger.

sorry if i am too late and if someone already offered this solution to you i didnt read the replies

if you really want to use it then you can bypass opengl limitations by using the software mode provided by mesa3d (i can even run gzdoom on my machine with it)

though keep in mind that it is using software to render so it will be slow and higher resolutions arent recomended 

if you are having problems with crashes it may be because of the direct3d so you may want to disable at least temporarely.

I still use GZDoom Builder. Nothing wrong with using an older version of an editor. Don't feel like you always have to use the latest versions of anything, they often introduce higher system requirements for no real reason in my opinion. Hell I still use GZDoom 2.2.0!

 

I use doombuilder and ppl stop and stare at me
