So who's going to run some benchmarks on the hardware acceleration so everyone on Neowin can go potty over browsers as usual? laugh.gif

I just did for HA and IE still wins by far on my system. I'm using Chrome, though, since it does everything faster.

The new dev version scores 241 points (+12 bonus points) in the HTML5 test, while IE9 scores 96+5.

As before, IE9 does 95/100 in the Acid 3 tests, but interestingly enough Chrome only manages 97/100, down from a perfect 100 in the last dev version. Someone else experienced this?

IE9 is still far ahead regarding hardware acceleration however, Chrome still stutters at a few measly frames per second in IE 9's HTML5 Fish tank test and the Psychedelic browsing experience is not much better at 13 revs/m.

I get 100/100 in Acid. Must be an extension you have?

Yeah that's possible, have a couple of them installed that could be interfering with the test.

I'm a bit surprised that Chrome is so behind Firefox and IE9 when it comes to hardware acceleration, probably something the dev team will have fixed in a few weeks though ;)

Do any websites even use hardware acceleration heavily yet?

To my knowledge only "demo" sites.

Woah, so all the browser wars are basically all about benchmark sites just now and not even "real world results" laugh.gif That's hilarious.

Yeah, hardware acceleration isn't working and at least the Psychedelic Browsing test just loads a blank page and navigating elsewhere produces an Oh Snap! error.

You need to let the browser wait for a minute or two, and then the test screen appears. However as I posted above, it only produces scores of around 23-30 revs/m.

Accelerated compositing and accelerated 2D canvas are two different things. It doesn't seem like accelerated 2D canvas is enabled by default yet.

ah I it enabled via switches. If you guys want the acceleration working try this:

--enable-gpu-plugin --enable-gpu-rendering --enable-accelerated-2d-canvas --enable-video-layering --enable-webgl --enable-fastback

you can drop webgl flag

it is now enabled by default in this build

    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
    • Nvidia GeForce NOW to support 18 more games in June, including Gothic 1 Remake

      Nvidia GeForce NOW to support 18 more games in June, including Gothic 1 Remake by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The start of a new month means Nvidia is also preparing a whole month of additions to its GeForce NOW supported games list. The cloud gaming platform received its first update of June today, revealing games like Jurassic World Evolution 3 and Gothic 1 Remake for the service, while at the same time revealing what's incoming in the next few weeks too. Here are the games joining GeForce NOW's supported list this week: Jurassic World Evolution 3 (New release on Xbox, available on Game Pass) Fatekeeper (New release on Steam, available June 2) House Flipper Remastered Collection (New release on Steam, available June 4) Pro Cycling Manager 26 (New release on Steam, available June 4) GOALS (New release on Steam, available June 4) Gothic 1 Remake (New release on Steam, available June 5) NTE: Neverness to Everness (Launcher) The Outer Worlds: Spacer's Choice Edition (Steam and Xbox, available on Game Pass) Tomb Raider I-III Remastered (Epic Games Store) XCOM: Enemy Unknown (Steam) Nvidia also plans to add support for these games during the rest of June, though more titles will probably land as weeks go by too: STARSEEKER: Astroneer Expeditions (New release on Steam, June 11) SpaceCraft (New release on Steam, June 11) Denshattack! (New release on Steam and Xbox, available on Game Pass, June 17) The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales (New release on Steam, June 18) Dark Scrolls (New release on Steam, June 22) Monopoly: Star Wars Heroes vs. Villains (New release on Steam and Ubisoft, June 30) Farever (Steam) FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves (Steam) Keep in mind that, unlike subscription services like Game Pass or EA Play, a copy of a game must be owned by the GeForce NOW member (or at least have a license via PC Game Pass) to start playing via Nvidia's cloud servers. There is also a limit to how many hours subscribers can use the service per month.
