Hi there, I'm having trouble getting hardware acceleration to work with grc's graphical sinks. With the regular sinks the refresh rate is always choppy and sluggish until it eventually locks up completely. And when I tried the OpenGL sinks it turned out they're even slower than the regulars, espe

The strange thing is that when the fft's sample rate is at 25Msps which equals the USRP's bandwidth at a decimation of 4 everything works fine with the regular fft sink yet not with the OpenGL one. However when I increase the fft's sample rate to 50Msps which is 2x the USRP's bandwidth both sinks
