I am pretty sure it has to do something with the float values being 'messed up' when they are so small.

Float values do have inherent error involved when they are VERY big or VERY small. The values you showed were neither. Sorry I don't know OpenGL. Where are you getting PCFreq? Is it part of the performance counter? If so, then it should take into account the PC/OS specific values for the clock. Do a check with both PCs. Have your program display the "time between frames". The TBF should be the same on both machines if the PCFreq is the same (or close). If you are running at 60fps on both machines then the TBF should always show ~16.6666666667 (on average). You will most likely see this number fluctuate between 16-17 depending on processor load.

 

So, to sum up:

Test both computers for 60fps and TBF.

Do you have a fixed vsync? If your desktop is higher end, then make sure you're not running at 120fps. You probably already checked this, but if your delta is higher on your desktop than on your laptop, then there is some inconsistancy other than the speed difference of the processors. Clocks are clocks and (whithin reason) they all click at 1ms intervals. Look at CLOCKS_PER_SEC to be sure. On second thought, what ARE you using to get your Delta?

You probably have a grand idea for a game. Don't start with that. Take as much of the functionality you want in your game, but dumb it down. Put that into a simplified version of your game. This will do 2 things: First, you will actually be able to finish it, and second, you will gain the needed experience to write the game you want. I've never used SFML, but I have used DarkGDK. SFML has a forum-- use it. If you need to, study some C++ tutorials/examples and write some of your own. The best advice I can give is "just start programming"!

Sorry I suggested anything.
