GPU acceleration - is it /g/ approved? Anonymous 2016-07-18 21:14:42 Post No. 55638410 [Report]
I have my GPU on "Prefer maximum performance" globally, and with GPU acceleration in the browser, it fucks my temps over just when browsing normal websites, and also steals massive GPU RAM if the browser is running while playing games -- sometimes leading to heat issues and crashes...

Turned off GPU acceleration today and the chip is now much cooler and less strained on a daily basis, giving better performance in games.

How much does it actually help browsing? Tried Twitch & Youtube and saw no noticeable difference.

It makes a massive performance difference in anything actually demanding but it doesn't really matter for day to day browsing.

Turn off prefer maximum performance makes much more sense but do what you want.

Also even at maximum performance your GPU shouldn't be overheating and fucking up unless you OC'd it.

>It makes a massive performance

Does it though? I read this piece from 2014 and it concludes that it might not be as consequential as you would think: https://helgeklein.com/blog/2014/12/impact-gpu-acceleration-browser-cpu-usage/

Sometimes it apparently even strains the CPU because it has issues sharing data with the GPU... Admittedly they try it with a shit tier integrated card but still.
