In my defence, I never said it was efficient! Games always suck for battery because they’re constantly rendering.

Only the badly designed ones.

They don't need to. Enable v-sync.

  • That’s still 60 times a second on my iPhone and 120 on my Samsung

    • Competently done games have vsync and also a fps limiter.

      They also decouple game logic and input from drawing :)

      And then we have those that thing "OMG BIGGER FPS" is better and burn your video card when they render the startup menu at 1480 fps...
