Hi Tobi, I have ran your clock app on an old MacBook Pro (15 Zoll, Late 2008) (2,4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB Mac OS X 10.10.4 JDK 1.8.0_45-b14 using: java -Dprism.verbose=true -jar javafx-performance-test-1.0.0.jar
which shows that the GPU pipeline is used. Loading ES2 native library ... prism_es2 succeeded. Graphics Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation Renderer: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M OpenGL Engine Version: 2.1 NVIDIA-10.0.31 310.90.10.05b12 I also measured a cpu load of about 30 to 40%, after 60 to 80% in the first couple of seconds. @oracle-staff: Does JavaFX graphic perform better on D3D than on OpenGL in general? And if so, are there plans to speed up gl pipeline or has D3D higher priority? Best regards, Joerg
