Does haiku have VRAM?

I was wondering if haiku support VRAM or CPU overclocking because I’m trying to play Minecraft.jar at better frame rate or just to have better stability because I encounter to many bugs trying to run Minecraft on haiku

Haiku has no 3D Acceleration, If you want better hardware support and a better framerate you’d be better off dual booting with linux and using it for 3d games.

It has :slightly_smiling_face: : Haiku ❤ Nvidia (porting Nvidia driver for Turing+ GPUs)

And it works!!

Not really looking for 3D acceleration, I’m looking for more technical ways to make it run better with frame pacing like CPU overclocking or VRAM, I don’t really need more frame, I need stability

Does this also work with a intel GPU?

No, it is for NVIDIA GPUs only and for modern ones (Turing+).

Okay, well is there a way for me to use VRAM or CPU overclocking

What do you mean by “use VRAM”? VRAM is not very useful without GPU acceleration because it is made for processing by GPU.

Well if not Vram, can I try cpu overclocking

I don’t know any CPU overclocking software for Haiku. Some CPU overclocking options may be present in your BIOS configuration menu. Note that it may damage your hardware.

Hm, ok thank I’m willing take that chance

Your analysis of the problem is incorrect. Almost all cpu time on your Haiku box goes towards the actual rendering of the game. We do not support 3D Acceleration, instead we emulate it on the CPU. This is very expensive. If you had a gpu driver for whatever you have you would free up the cpu to do more different work, and the gpu can do what it is designed to do.

If you want 3D gaming Haiku, currently, is just not for you…

I end up getting it to run better and I managed to get like 25 frames per second with mods, I only overclocked my CPU by 5% and used ram caching I was really hoping I could use the GPU modeling script that was given in that earlier thing, but unfortunately, it only supports Nvidia which is bad since my whole Chromebook is built on Intel

Please stop of doing false claims. Running hardware accelerated Minecraft on Nvidia GPU in Haiku good enough for practical purposes have been already demonstrated (by @3deyes). Haiku has 3D acceleration support via 3rd-party drivers. Even on Windows many drivers are not built-in into OS and installed from hardware vendors.

If user have modern NVIDIA GPU, I can help to explain how to make 3D accelerated applications to run on Haiku.
