869829 2010-03-25 04:34:00 Anybody tried it?

I've just been comparing the latest Opera with Chrome, so figure I'll download it and give it a whirl.

Hardware accelerated HTML5 amongst other things included now :D

869830 2010-03-25 04:44:00 Oh wow! So I installed it and the homepage is a non-n00b page, good stuff in my books.

Anyways, try doing this in your fav browser:
ie.microsoft.com

All were tested in Full-screen, 1680x1050

Chrome 4.1 gives approx 2 -> 4 FPS, jerky as hell :(
Firefox 3.5.3 gives 18 -> 24, but redraws them *horribly*
Opera 10.5 gets 30 -> 32, not *too* bad, but it "halts" and "shudders" at times ...
IE9 gives 64 -> 65, even when I hold down Shift for faster spinning!!

It's a shame Acid3 still fails miserably :p

869831 2010-03-25 04:48:00 Not yet, altho I dont think the vidcard supports HW Acc anyway. So, it'll probably be the same as any other browser when I go to sites Speedy Gonzales (78)
869832 2010-03-25 05:04:00 Pretty consistent 65-66fps, no matter what I do to it. Opera 10.10 64bit, on Gentoo Linux.


Not yet, altho I dont think the vidcard supports HW Acc anyway.Hardware acceleration is the entire point of a video card. Trust me, it will support it.

869833 2010-03-25 05:18:00 If it does, then the drivers dont support it. Since, the option is disabled Speedy Gonzales (78)
869834 2010-03-25 05:35:00 Installed it this morning on a workshop computer wainuitech (129)

Which OS are you using? If I remember correctly, it uses a rendering API that's only present in Vista and above - so if you're running XP, then you won't have the option to use hardware acceleration.

869836 2010-03-25 05:53:00 Vista x64 now. May go back to Win 7 when MS decide to fix the bugs in it Speedy Gonzales (78)
869837 2010-03-25 06:23:00 Interesting - I have no idea then. My guess is the same as yours - drivers - but I don't know for sure. Erayd (23)
869838 2010-03-25 06:23:00 Not sure whats meant to happen, held shift down and it went to 60fps. what does that mean to me? plod (107)
