ROBLOX would run much faster on lots of computers if the engine was upgraded to feature HW! With HW, we wouldn't HAVE to worry about realistic water lagging us! Let me explain. Hardware Acceleration utilizes the entire computer, not just the processor with the video card to do basic rendering. With HW, the GPU and CPU work together; the CPU processing math functions while the GPU does physics and graphical rendering. Did you know that when it was first introduced, games like Doom had their graphical quality skyrocket? Some online games are adding this function, ROBLOX should too. It would be much better than something silly, like making the engine compatable for a mac, anyway.

As do I, and I have no other thing to say about it.

One reason this is a good idea: There is nothing to debate about it except is it worth the effort.

True, BUT, you may know that it will help, but for people with old old old OLD computers, that may just make it have more lag. And yes, I know what it does and stuff, but it might make more lag for some, and they might quit.

I support but I have a question. Would it affect only Roblox or the entire computer? If the whole computer then read the below paragraph. According to the title it says Hardware. Does that mean only newer computers would have it or would we older ones have to take it to a shop to get it upgraded? I know it cannot possibly be a software update.

i think it should be applied on roblox servers if it helps... i agree even if i dont understand what you mean, how it would help, and who it would help... as it sounds cool...
