    What does Graphics Setting: (FPS) control? What happens if you change it?

        Then it has nothing to do with the actual processing?

          Correct...

            Though presumably it does take some processing power to drive the screensaver? (so higher FPS would slow down processing somewhat).

              I've considered that the BOINC specified FPS ought be interpreted by the screensaver application as a maximum rate. This in turn yields a minimum time b/w buffer swaps. So that would cap the impact of a screensaver.

              My rewrite of the E@H screensaver build framework has a current max setting of 100 FPS ( this can be changed ), by control of GLFW callback intervals. I reckon that if the swaps are regular then 30 FPS looks fine.

              Of course if the screensaver is disabled, this is moot.

              Cheers, Mike.

                I don't use the screensaver, so its setting doesn't matter.

                  Always a good idea to set your screensaver to "blank" after a couple minutes to keep from wasting processor.

                  I rarely even take a peak at it since way back in the Seti Classic days.
