(This is the documentation for SDL3, which is under heavy development and the API is changing! SDL2 is the current stable version!)

SDL_HINT_FRAMEBUFFER_ACCELERATION

A variable controlling how 3D acceleration is used to accelerate the SDL screen surface.

Header File

Defined in <SDL3/SDL_hints.h>

Syntax

#define SDL_HINT_FRAMEBUFFER_ACCELERATION   "SDL_FRAMEBUFFER_ACCELERATION"

Remarks

SDL can try to accelerate the SDL screen surface by using streaming textures with a 3D rendering engine. This variable controls whether and how this is done.

The variable can be set to the following values:

• "0": Disable 3D acceleration
• "1": Enable 3D acceleration, using the default renderer. (default)
• "X": Enable 3D acceleration, using X where X is one of the valid rendering drivers. (e.g. "direct3d", "opengl", etc.)

This hint should be set before calling SDL_GetWindowSurface()

Version

This hint is available since SDL 3.0.0.
