bangbang023 Veteran Share Posted September 30, 2010 Have to give IE9 credit. Hardware acceleration is still way better. Link to post Share on other sites
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Share Posted September 30, 2010 So who's going to run some benchmarks on the hardware acceleration so everyone on Neowin can go potty over browsers as usual? Link to post Share on other sites
bangbang023 Veteran Share Posted September 30, 2010 So who's going to run some benchmarks on the hardware acceleration so everyone on Neowin can go potty over browsers as usual? I just did for HA and IE still wins by far on my system. I'm using Chrome, though, since it does everything faster. Link to post Share on other sites
Fluxii Media Share Posted September 30, 2010 I refuse to be the starter of another heated argument on why Chrome is better. :whistle: Link to post Share on other sites
bangbang023 Veteran Share Posted September 30, 2010 H.A. dropped my chrome peacekeeper score 500 points from ~9700 to ~9200. Then again, I have integrated graphics (for another month or so). Link to post Share on other sites
.Markus Share Posted September 30, 2010 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? Link to post Share on other sites
.Markus Share Posted September 30, 2010 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 ;) Link to post Share on other sites

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Share Posted September 30, 2010 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" That's hilarious. Link to post Share on other sites

Daimaah Share Posted September 30, 2010 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. Link to post Share on other sites
.Markus Share Posted September 30, 2010 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. Link to post Share on other sites
BryanChung Share Posted October 1, 2010 how do I determine if my hardware acceleration is working or not? :o Link to post Share on other sites

Elliott Share Posted October 1, 2010 Accelerated compositing and accelerated 2D canvas are two different things. It doesn't seem like accelerated 2D canvas is enabled by default yet. Link to post Share on other sites
uberv Share Posted October 1, 2010 it's not working for me, or better yet at psychedelic test I get 40, obviously something's wrong with my Chrome o.o Link to post Share on other sites
ViperAFK Share Posted October 1, 2010 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 Link to post Share on other sites

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 Link to post Share on other sites
