Summary: ChimeraX bug report submission → Graphics "glitchy"

I can't test on Windows 10, but certainly on Mac with 5nsr and full lighting moving the clip planes in the side view is very laggy.

comment:2 by Tom Goddard, 5 years ago

No telling what "graphical glitches" means. The update speed can be slow but on an AMD R9 200 series graphics card it should be ok on 5nsr, a few updates per second. It has to update full ambient shadows (64 lighting directions) on each clip plane move. On a Windows laptop with Nvidia 1070 MaxQ I was getting maybe 10 updates per second.

Possibly the user meant it wasn't smooth 60 frame per second graphics updates as it is in simple lighting, or perhaps their graphics driver is buggy and it actually rendered something wrong. In any case looks like not enough information to do anything about. Suggest closing ticket.

Following Tom's recommendation.
