Makes me question this QTimer
usage. I haven't looked into these things for quite some time now, so I'll probably need more time to debug this during the weekends, but just to mention that funnily enough this was left unnoticed due to the fact of me being happy with solid 60 FPS for rendering.
In terms of the calculations from FPS to milliseconds it LGTM, since QTimer
expects the argument to be in milliseconds.
What's weird however, even if I pass it the value 2
, it will still render 60 FPS, which to my calculations should render on 500 FPS, but if I pass it 150
, then it indeed affects the FPS and render with 6 FPS., which to my calculations should be correct, as (1 / 150) * 1000 = 6.6666.
I'm thinking maybe even a better solution would be getting rid of the QTimer
usage fully, as it will allow more precise calculations of FPS and be reliable, just like how you would have a game loop where you have better control of these things. I'm not sure at this point, but thinking out loud in case you'll look into this.
Many thanks for your contributions, @wroy-ca!
