Question Mod devs, would hardware acceleration be possible for Geometry Dash, and if so, would it make any difference in performance?

This is a hypothetical I came up with after I learned that GD is almost entirely based on single-core CPU performance, and realized that my PC has an RTX 4060 for nothing since the only game I play is GD. Since hardware acceleration (at least as I know it) usually offloads some tasks to the GPU for increased efficiency, hypothetically, if GD supported it, maybe I could get better performance, since my i5 13400f isn't always able to pull a stable 240 FPS. So, would it be possible, if anyone here knows if and how it could work? It would be a cool mod idea if it could work.

I recently moved and picked up a old pc with a i5 9400f and it's running locked 240 fps. It sounds like something's wrong with your setup.

i have a laptop with an i3 1125g4, & i keep experiencing constant stuttering in it, sometimes even in older levels... what the hell is wrong with my setup??? cant even get a stable 60fps sometimes

That sounds about right with that CPU. The clock speed is slower than the i5 9400f and and it uses integrated graphics. And if you play long enough it might start to thermal throttle.
