Performance​

  • Performance - Set WGPU rendering performance

    • High: Adapter that has the highest performance. This is often a discrete GPU.
    • Low: Adapter that uses the least possible power. This is often an integrated GPU.
[renderer]
performance = "High"

Backend​

  • Backend - Set WGPU rendering backend

    • Automatic: Leave Sugarloaf/WGPU to decide
    • GL: Supported on Linux/Android, and Windows and macOS/iOS via ANGLE
    • Vulkan: Supported on Windows, Linux/Android
    • DX12: Supported on Windows 10
    • Metal: Supported on macOS/iOS
[renderer]
backend = "Automatic"

Disable unfocused render​

This property disable renderer processes while Rio is unfocused.

Default is false.

[renderer]
disable-unfocused-render = false

Target FPS​

This configuration is disabled by default but if isLimits the maximum number of frames per second that rio terminal will attempt to draw on a specific frame per second interval.

[renderer]
target-fps = 120

Filter​

Rio allow to configure filters based on RetroArch shaders: github.com/libretro/slang-shaders.

Note: Filters does not work with GL backend.

[renderer]
filters = [
  "/Users/raphael/Downloads/slang-shaders-master/crt/newpixie-crt.slangp"
]

Strategy​

Strategy property defines how Rio will render, by default it follows Event driven (Events), but you can change it to a continuous loop (that will consume more CPU) by changing to Continuous.

[renderer]
strategy = "events"
