Breaking Changes
"Unlimited" frame limiter is no longer completely unlimited #5235
Games using osu!framework can generally run at very high frame rates when not much is going on.
This can be counter-productive due to the induced allocation and GPU overhead.
- Allocation overhead can lead to excess garbage collection
- GPU overhead can lead to unexpected pipeline blocking (and stutters as a result).
Also, in general graphics card manufacturers do not test their hardware at insane frame rates and therefore drivers are not optimised to handle this kind of throughput. - We only harvest input at 1000hz, so running any higher has zero benefits.
If you think you know better for your specific application (or more correctly need to remove the limit for benchmarking), set GameHost.AllowBenchmarkUnlimitedFrames to true.
We limit things to the same rate we poll input at, to keep both gamers and their systems happy and (more) stutter-free.
