+
70
+
### Optimized Speed & Performance
71
+
StreamGo addresses a major performance issue found in other Stremio clients by implementing extensive optimizations that make the UI feel truly native and smooth:
72
+
73
+
-**GPU-Accelerated Rendering** - Platform-specific rendering backends (Metal for macOS, D3D11 for Windows, OpenGL for Linux) ensure optimal performance on your system with full GPU acceleration enabled.
74
+
-**144Hz+ High Refresh Rate Support** - Optimized for smooth scrolling and transitions on high refresh rate displays (144Hz, 240Hz, and beyond) with unlocked frame rates and disabled VSync for consistent, responsive performance.
75
+
-**Intelligent Scroll Optimizations** - Dynamic scroll state detection that automatically disables heavy effects (transitions, shadows, blur) during scrolling for buttery-smooth 200fps+ performance, then re-enables them when idle.
76
+
-**Hardware Video Decoding** - Full HEVC/H.265 hardware decoding support for efficient video playback with reduced CPU usage and better battery life on supported hardware.
77
+
-**Native-Like Smoothness** - GPU-accelerated compositing, zero-copy rendering, and optimized rasterization pipelines ensure the UI feels as responsive and fluid as a native desktop application, addressing the laggy and janky scrolling issues common in other Stremio clients.
78
+
-**Smart Resource Management** - Consolidated observers, RAF-batched handlers, and early DOM loading minimize overhead and ensure fast startup times and responsive interactions.
79
+
80
+
### Core Systems

+
-**Automatic Update System** - StreamGo automatically checks for updates and can download and install the latest version directly from within the app, ensuring you always have the newest features and bug fixes.
82
+
