Bimbam o.O
Last time I checked, the overwhelming majority of devices are still 1080 or less, even gamers:

I am of the opinion that there is a difference in requirements between users/players and developers/creators. For example, it is recommended to develop the game on a computer level higher than the recommended for maximum quality of this game. Well, that's how I was taught…

Just open the list of video cards there and try to find the Quadro... Are they being played on? But who's going to argue that Quadro is better for c 3D work?

      I was never taught, but as we're talking about a desktop apps UI rather than the game itself, I defer to this as what I would consider a good practice:

      https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/design/layout/screen-sizes-and-breakpoints-for-responsive-design

      While I would certainly recommend any developer (or anyone really) upgrade to 4k, the practical reality is most devices aren't, and you want your app to be accessible to the biggest market.

      ;tldr the app should cater to its users, the user shouldn't have to cater to the app (unless explicitly required)

      Anyway Duane's bug looks like it may be resolution agnostic as the interface is extending beyond its visible window (which is bad lol)

        1080p is still very popular, even new higher end laptops often come at 1080p resolution. And cheaper laptops can sometimes be lower than 1080p. It is common that developers own larger screens, or multiple screens, but this is not a guarantee, particularly with a free engine like Godot that is going to attract people on low spec devices. So I am unsure how this bug could go on for so long, though I admit I have used Godot on my 1080p laptop and I didn't notice any problems, so maybe it is an odd edge case.

        Though I don't especially like Microsoft as a company, they do have some of the best documentation.

        Tomcat But who's going to argue that Quadro is better for c 3D work?

        Because Autodesk products throw a warning if you don't? or because of an actual CBA of price vs. performance.

        If the latter, I'm betting Quadro loses.

        Last time I checked, Quadro cards were just nerfed GTX cards with expensive firmware that business latch onto for the 'enhanced reliability', support and VMs, not the performance which was always sub par (to the point where you could swap bioses on them for as much as a 50% speedup).

                And their minimum target is 1080p (while still being entirely usable on 1366x768 as for a while that was my laptops screen size). So my point stands.

                    Bimbam I'm betting Quadro loses.

                    Quadro was always bogus and a cash grab to exploit corporate clients. Back in the day, there was a soft-mod you could do that would turn like a $200 gamer card into a $4000 Quadro, and performance was the same. It's the same reason many cloud services have a free tier for individuals but charge you like $500/month if you work at a corporation. The product is the same, but they charge what they think people will pay. Or when the price says "Please Inquire" and they look up the market cap of your company and divide by 10 to tell you the cost. It's all just a game.

                        Is it possible to reverse RTX into Quadro?

                        Bimbam So my point stands.

                        The point of view that it's better to work behind a small monitor? Sorry I don't share it. I guess the text ejection bug (which is a bug) will be fixed but the suffering won't stop there.

                        I would like to know more about it

                                I think, in 2022, requiring a 1080p monitor for production work is not unreasonable. Granted, there should be some provisions or options for smaller monitors, but it would be extremely difficult to create any sort of complex software or game today at 720p. Maybe if you are making a 240 x 360 pixel art game, you could do it (like people on that Pico-8 or whatever), but a 3D game? Not likely.

                                  No, Nvidia blocked that trick probably like 15 years ago. But there is a mod to do vGPU, which might be useful for scientific work.

                                  In any case, Quadro is not needed for game development. Most software works fine on consumer cards, and it's probably better anyway you are running on a similar stack to users. I guess there are some select industries that still need enterprise GPUs, but there is nothing special about them, besides a firmware device id which the software checks for. It's all just a scam.

                                      Well considering the price ratio right now… I don't know how in the civilized world, but in our country at the height of the crypto boom you could get Quadro almost cheaper than its gaming counterpart. 😃

                                          Not what I said. I said cater to your clients, don't expect them to have to cater to you.

                                          Most users are using 1080 or less, so accommodating for that should be the highest priority (minimum requirements), while promoting the benefits of larger resolutions (recommended requirements).

                                          My point was that when a user experiences a bug in Godot's UI on a 1080 screen, the solution is not 'get a bigger screen' 🤷

                                          No idea, I've not been supporting CAD people for about 7 years so my knowledge may be out of date, but imagine firmware hacking is still a thing as it was then.

                                                I mean, 1080p is not exactly "low res", even in 2022. Yes, for artists/designers and such, they will usually have larger and higher resolution screens. But for indie developers, most are on a shoe-string budget, with some crappy laptop, and probably making a pixel art game for low end devices. Also, since Godot is free, and OpenGL has low system requirements, you end up attracting an audience that is younger or starting out and never made a game before. Not a professional audience like Unreal Engine. So it's pretty important that the editor works for them.

                                                If it came to that, the user would probably just uninstall and leave a bad review. Not being mean, it's just what almost happened to a game that I bought.

                                                It required a certain resolution, and luckily, I had a guru at the time to change my resolution to fit the game. It eventually became a favorite.

                                                I would argue for the opposite, you define the minimum spec for the widest audience you want to possibly capture and develop against that minimum spec. You should still test higher end systems including monitors as well, especially now that we have ultra wides and super ultra wides and whatnot.

                                                    All of this does bring up a question, tho. Can you change the res on a Godot game so the user won't have to go through what I did?

                                                    2D and Keep settings are great, but they might be limiting. Sort of like a free aspect ratio.

                                                    But I do not argue with this statement. Yes, developing games on a large monitor, we can not forget that the game will sometimes be played at lower resolutions. But it is possible to emulate a small monitor on a large one, but the opposite… difficult.

                                                    This point I do not really understand. Optimization usually happens at the end of the work. It is possible to estimate, but only approximately the desired level of minimum requirements. And it is necessary to test, on all available configurations.
