NGUI vs UGUI for VBO (Vertex Buffer Object)

[yuewah]

For updating VBO (Vertex Buffer Object), NGUI use BetterList, UGUI use ObjectPool<List<UIVertex>>, which one is better in term of performance ?

[ArenMook]

No idea. I have no experience with ObjectPool.

[yuewah]

Will NGUI's BetterList recycle VBO instead of allocate more ?

[ArenMook]

UIDrawCall recycles buffers if possible.

Best thing to do is test it. Set up an elaborate test case with both tools, and measure with Stopwatch https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.stopwatch%28v=vs.110%29.aspx

1. var stopwatch = System.Diagnostics.Stopwatch.StartNew();
2.  
3. // Do something
4.  
5. // Stop timing
6. stopwatch.Stop();
7. //print results
8. Debug.Log("time: " + stopwatch.ticks);
9.
