Solved Suitable to enable "GPU Rasterization" on old PC?
-
Hi,
A PC on which I installed Vivaldi 5.0 is 11 years old. Its main board has an on-board video chip (ATI Radeo HD 4290). No video card is used.
On that PC, I have turned on hardware acceleration for a video player (recent edition of PotPlayer), and it works pretty well for a long time.
So, on the same PC, if I enable "GPU Rasterization" (vivaldi://flags/#enable-gpu-rasterization), it should be OK, too. Right?

I played an NBA basketball game video on YouTube both when GPU Rasterization is enabled and when it's disabled, respectedly. I didn't see any difference of CPU usage when that video is played at 1080p (7x%~9x% CPU usage) and 720p (5x%~7x%). But when the video is played at 480p, the CPU usage is about 10% less when GPU Rasterization is enabled (1x%~2x%) than when disabled (1x%~3x%).
So, GPU Rasterization is not greatly helpful on that old PC, but I think I will keep it enabled anyway.
Thank you.

Not sure if it will be supported.
You can try enabling it, observe it for a while to see if it affects the performance, and report back with the results.
