A CPU alone cannot snoothly carry the bulk of the graphical tasks that we do in our modern web browsers. Complex animations, graphics and even normal page rendering can take advantage from the GPU hardware to give you a significant boost.

Google is now introducing GPU hardware acceleration from Chrome. This enhancement would speed up the rendering of complex pages by offloading a lot of the processing to a computer’s graphics card.

VideoLAN VLC is among the most popular video players on Windows, Linux. Despite its popularity, it wasn’t the best one. As we talked about it months back, VLC had been supporting alot of video codecs that were way too inferior in performance and quality as compared to the top of the line.

Top of the line codec performance is showcased by CoreAVC, that lets you play 1080p smoothly, even on low-end machines (1.5Ghz Dual core, low-end GPU).

The new VLC version i.e. 1.1 seems to address these issues. Here are the key .. Read Further »

Intel has been trying to do it since years, but they have failed in a an ugly fashion with poor graphics performance of Core i3, Core i5. Not just that, Intel has failed at even creating a decent dedicated Graphics processor. Now AMD, with years of strong Graphics processor ATI, seems to be holding strong with Fusion of CPU + GPU.

Did you recently decided to make yourself a High-end Gaming Rig and ended-up in confusion of what to get. Whether to choose that new 1GHz AMD ATi Radeon HD or one of those of Nvidia CUDA/SLI powered GTX quad cores?

Well, here is the solution- Get best of both worlds.

So you thought Microsoft is lonely at the Top with DirectX accelerated IE9 web-browser? Well, not for long. Google announced a new project yesterday for .. Read Further »

SpiderMonkey is the secret sauce that gave us the first browser that was leap ahead of IE. But, over the years competitors like Opera, Chrome, Safari had left Firefox far behind in performance.

Mozilla had started working on “JagerMonkey”, a new “baseline” method JIT compiler for SpiderMonkey, Firefox.The JagerMonkey method JIT will provide a much better performance baseline, and tracing will .. Read Further »

nvidia-optimus So you thought you had switchable GPU graphics that automatically lower power usage by switching discrete graphics, when needed?

Well, not really. They have been around since years but they haven’t lived up to user expectations. Nvidia will change that with their new Optimus technology (hopefully).

We are not talking about PowerMizer which only changes the clock (and that too is absent in Windows 7). It’s rather about switching between integrated and discrete graphics. Switching between .. Read Further »
