If the color box width is decreased, what is the expected effect on frame rate?

• A. Frame rate becomes unpredictable
• B. Frame rate decreases
• C. Frame rate remains the same
• D. Frame rate increases

Answer: (D)

Decreasing the color box width lowers the amount of pixels the GPU has to render in each frame. With fewer pixels to shade and color, each frame takes less time to complete, so you can render more frames per second. That means the frame rate increases, assuming other parts of the system (CPU, memory bandwidth, shader complexity) aren’t bottlenecks. So the expected effect is a higher frame rate.
