A resource hungry screensaver

Running this app as an animated wallpaper can take a toll on older system's graphics cards, as during our testing we experienced slight performance drops, such as laggy mouse movements and a delay when switching between windows.This is something to be expected considering the amount of feature the app is running at once. A solution to combat this problem would be to deactivate some of the features or reduce some of the visuals.

An impressive screensaver application

Because of the features, it brings to the table; Earth 3D Screensaver is an excellent tool if you want to know how it feels to be an astronaut and see the world in all of its massive beauty. It is also recommended you run it if you have a powerful rig if you want to enjoy all the details without suffering from performance issues.
