(*) The web version has a lot of experimental options that aren't yet available in the native version. Send me a message if there's a specific option you'd like to see in the screensaver.
⚙️ System Requirements
Flux is a real-time fluid simulation. It should run at 60fps on most GPUs from the last decade, but here are a few things to keep in mind.
More fluid needs to be simulated for each monitor you connect.
Laptops with integrated graphics have limited capacity to drive high-resolution monitors. Running Flux on multiple 4k+ displays will likely cause the fans to spin up.
Minumum requirements:
- Windows 10 64-bit or later.
- An x86_64 CPU. Basically, Intel and AMD CPUs. Tablets with ARM CPUs won’t work.
- OpenGL 3.3 or greater. In other words, any GPU released after 2010.
How to install
- Download the screensaver. Save it somewhere where you can find it later, like your home folder.
- Right-click on the Flux.scr screensaver file.
- Click Install.
On Windows 11: click Show More Options and then Install.
How to remove
Delete the Flux.scr file and Flux should disappear from the screensaver options.
