How to optimise Godot?

[still abyss]

I'm getting 10 fps on this scene. Pls tell how to increase my fps.

[silk dirge]

What are your computer specs? Cause the scene looks really simple

Shouldn't be a real problem to render on even a low end PC

[still abyss]

i5 10th gen U processor

Nvidia MX330

7.7 gb ram

[silk dirge]

Are you running any other programs that need a lot of processing power? Cause again, the scene is so simple it should run no problem

[still abyss]

youtube, discord

[silk dirge]

Can you use the debbuger in godot to see what takes so much processing power?

[still abyss]

Something weird, I switched off my power adapter

and I got 30 fps

wow

[silk dirge]

peculiar

[still abyss]

I want more fps though sp

this tab?

[silk dirge]

I would check the Visual Profiler Tab

[still abyss]

it is empty

[silk dirge]

You have to start it

when running the game press Start

[silk dirge]

Thank you, the GPU seems to be struggeling a bit rendering everything

[still abyss]

So is there any other option than upgrading my rig?

[silk dirge]

Is there anything "advanced" in the scene such as post proccesing?

[still abyss]

there is fog

[silk dirge]

Try turning it off

[still abyss]

and there sdfgi

[silk dirge]

If you turn off both how good does your performance get?

[still abyss]

quite a bit better

Is there any way to have global illumination and fog without considerable performance drops, I mean my rig run valorant at 70fps, can't it run basic scene at 60fps?

[silk dirge]

Yeah thats a lot better. Fog tanks you performance a lot, so does sdfgi. You can use VisibilityNotifiers to render stuff thats not in view, may help a small bit

But otherwise probably not, I can also run graphically complex games at 60 FPS+, but using SDGFI and such in Godot drops my FPS to very low numbers. Godot simply doesn't run super fast in 3D

[tardy fractal]

is your computer a laptop? or otherwise has more than one GPU?

godot might be running on the integrated gpu not the dedicated one

[still abyss]

YES

it has 2 gpus

[west agate]

I don't think Valorant is a good comparison, because all their global illumination has been baked into textures and is not computed at runtime, whereas SDFGI runs in real-time and responds to scene changes and movements. If you want a level of graphical fidelity SDFGI gives you without the performance losses and your environments are static, I'd look into baking (I don't know how to do it specifically but I know it would improve performance)

Looks like you add a LightmapGI node to your scene, and it gets baked when you run the project (?) https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/classes/class_lightmapgi.html

So basically, if you are making an open world game, SDFGI is your friend, but if you're making a competitive FPS or something similar, LightmapGI is your friend

This has the most detail on baking lightmaps https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/tutorials/3d/global_illumination/using_lightmap_gi.html

[still abyss]

so is sdfgi equivalent ue5's lumen?

[west agate]

Yes

[still abyss]

so why doesn't godot get the big hype like ue5 gets?

[west agate]

Probably because ue5's implementation if real-time GI is more advanced/more performant, but I agree, Godot should get more hype 😭

[still abyss]

yes

[still abyss]

sometimes i feel that godot is better than ue5
