blik Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Yes, whether its THAT noticeable is debatable... Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/186569-does-clear-type-font-really-degrade-performance/#findComment-2423833 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tran Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Never had any problems on my end. For that matter, I never heard ClearType degrading performance.

Nelsinho Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 I think NOT, why my 2 CRT working 100%, but I have 512MB DDR PC3200 Dua Channel with P4 and some things I disabled of course my system is faster.

Syphonic Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 It is not noticable unless you have a rather old computer methinks. I have never noticed it, neither has anyone I know.

Scorcho Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 on modern computers there's hardly any performance hit. that's like asking if using themes is slower than using the stock classic Windows look in XP. yes, it'll be slower. odds are you'll hardly notice the difference though.

olaf Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I'm on a 1.5GHz P4, and I notice that things seem to run more quickly with ClearType disabled. I still use it though; it looks very nice, even on a CRT.
