    I’m assuming it’s the editor for making things on some game engine or a video editing software, not your text editor. Even the most obese text editor isn’t Like That.

    I was running Helldiver’s 2 for a few weeks this year on CPU alone, and wondering why my framerate sucked. I thought the devs had put out a bad update.

    Then I realized the game had forced DX12 and also decided that my graphics card was lacking a feature it required - so it fell back to CPU only. I forced DX11 in config = fixed. Me: 🤡

    This looks like it was made to justify those insane text editors with “GPU acceleration” as if text editing requires interop with Vulkan.

      It doesn’t require, but it runs better on GPU. It’s not for nothing that modern terminal emulators like Kitty, Alacritty, Ghostty, and Wezterm ship with GPU support. Sure, they just “render text”, but it is a rendering workload that is highly parallelizable. There’s no reason to waste CPU cycles with that.
