Hi allWhat's the benefits of using VolatileImages regarding game development?
Basically, if used correctly, they can be accelerated in hardware, allowing large performance increases. Do a search in the forums and you'll find plenty of material on them.

I've never used them. GraphicsConfiguration.createCompatibleImage() lets the VM manage hardware acceleration which has always worked fine for me.Michael Bishop

Thanks for the replies. I'm now using VolatileImage for the backbuffer in my game and got a large performance increasment just like jboeing said :).
