      since latest two snaps (the current 1.10.862.6 and the previous one) vivaldi performances are a little sluggish and i have lot of tearing in videos, meaning that they are a little sluggish too and i kinda have a line at the centre like if the video is divided (like very older pc's where photos for example were drawing one lines at times if you know what i mean), and this sometimes happen with with web pages...
      i also have problems with hd videos (on youtube for example) which were running fine before...

      my system is a 2.2 dual core with 3 gb ram and 512 of dedicated and i use fedora workstation 25...i know these aren't best specs but vivaldi was running fine before these 2 snaps and anyway firefox has no problems at all...any help?

        @Gwen-Dragon said in performances and screen tearing issues:

        vivaldi://gpu

        thanks for your answer...here's the first section

        my cpu is an intel 2.2 dual core processor and my gpu is an ati radeon hd 4570 with 512 of dedicated memory...

          this is fedora workstation 25 with latest mesa drivers ( i think 17.x.x) but as i said, vivaldi was running flawlessy 2 or 3 version ago with no problem at all, was working flawlessy last year on windows and firefox is still working flawlessy...and yes there is a fine tuning thing on fedora for radeon cards but i've already done that... 🙂

          edit : i will try to install latest 1.9 stable to see what happens 🙂

            stable installed and this is the output

            Canvas: Hardware accelerated
            Flash: Hardware accelerated
            Flash Stage3D: Hardware accelerated
            Flash Stage3D Baseline profile: Hardware accelerated
            Compositing: Hardware accelerated
            Multiple Raster Threads: Disabled
            Native GpuMemoryBuffers: Software only. Hardware acceleration disabled
            Rasterization: Software only. Hardware acceleration disabled
            Video Decode: Software only, hardware acceleration unavailable
            Video Encode: Hardware accelerated
            VPx Video Decode: Software only, hardware acceleration unavailable
            WebGL: Hardware accelerated
            WebGL2: Hardware accelerated

            so there's should be something wrong with latest snaps...

                test done :
                chome stable 58 : hardware acceleration enabled
                chrome beta 59 : hardware acceleration disabled
                will try even with opera...anyway the differences with chrome beta or stable were minimal...differences in vivaldi instead, are quite noticeables...i hope this is just something that can be fixed...

                    well i am already using the opersource driver...is mesa the open source one?
                    on the other hand i don't think i can increase the dedicated memory and hw acceleration is always been ticked on...need to test other methods anyway...

                      @dLeon said in performances and screen tearing issues:

                      --disable-accelerated-compositing

                      tried it and they create 2 sessions one of which does not have side panels nor vivaldi menu...hope some other solution will come as this is quite impratical...

                        dunno why but seems the problems solved itself...now the browser works perfectly fine, i have no tearing anymore and hardware acceleration is enabled...all without doing nothing...well better that way...

                            that's what appear in the first command...anyway i am using wayland...it comes by default in fedora 25 and even if i have some mouse lag it seems snappier than x11 so leaved the default settings...anyway as i said the problem automatically fixed itself without doing nothing...weird, really weird but true...

                                  wait...i reopen this one...so far it seems that the solution is going to chrome://flags and disable the first one on the top...

                                    @luca247 So solution is disabling "Override software rendering list"?
                                    Weird, but why not.
