What's new in Matriz 2.1.0

GPU performance: 15.4% less time per frame

Average frame time at 1440×900: 4.62 → 3.91 ms (1.18×), measured using 46 cases × 8 interleaved passes (median per case, same reference shader):

  • Waves (styles 0–5): +16.9%
  • High load (deformation, DPR, extremes): +15.0%
  • Orbs: +14.0% · Other: +14.4%

No visible changes: the 50-case byte-for-byte suite and deterministic harness pass. The shader is also precompiled (Matriz.metallib, with source fallback), and duplicate frames are no longer drawn.

New settings

  • Wave position (lower, upper and center, up or down).
  • Orb center X / center Y (filled and hollow), alongside the existing size control.

New defaults and icon

Lower wave, maximum drift, Pink palette, audio and artwork enabled — with a matching pink icon.
