| Post subject: | Electron-based GUIs and hardware acceleration |
I recently noticed that Electron-based GUIs such as Sabaki, LizGoban, and my own Ogatak have lower KataGo performance on my machine if they are configured to use hardware acceleration. While this makes some sense (because it could mean the GUI and the engine are fighting for the GPU) I am certain the performance hit was negligable a month ago, but now the speed difference is very noticeable on my machine. I was wondering if anyone else could confirm or deny experiencing this? Both Sabaki and Ogatak let you enable / disable GUI hardware acceleration; Ogatak's option is in its "Misc" menu, while Sabaki's is in its general preferences. For myself, it became obvious that KataGo wasn't running at full power because the GPU temperature stayed much lower than normal, as well as being slower. My suspicions as to what would cause this include (a) some Windows update, or (b) some change to Nvidia's anti-coin-mining detection. |
