Hardware Acceleration

I want to know about the adobe flash player hardware acceleration if l should enable it or not.

With the option on the gpu's temps are about 56 Celsius while l m watching a Youtube Video.

When l disable it the temps are 44.

So my question is, should l enable it or not? I gain something with the option on?

Thanks in advance.

Because it rises the gpu temps and l can't see a diferrence between off and on.

So l would like to know your opinion on that matter.

It's fine when your graphics card gets warm, it's normal. It's when the graphics card is doing some work processing things. My graphics card reach 70°C when I play games and I never had any problems. When it gets warm, the fan will do its job to keep it cool so there's nothing to worry.

Yes l know that GPU can go into higher temps than the CPU but if there is an option not stress the GPU all the time l would like ti take it.

Do you know if there is a difference with the option off?

All I know is that Adobe Flash Player will run slower because it runs by the software, so it won't be as nice. If you turn on hardware acceleration, it will be faster and smoother.

It'll likely put the workload into the processor instead. Have you watched your processor temps when hardware acceleration is disabled?

The CPU load remains the same so do the temps of CPU.Maybe a CPU load rise of 2-4%.

The only difference l ve noticed so far is that with Hardware Acceleration on the memory clock of GPU goes up @1250MHz so voltage rises from 0.9 to 1 and temps rise to 56.Without HA memory clock stays at 250MHz and the voltage at 0.9.Temps are at 44 degrees.

I tested it at 480p and 720p videos and l saw no difference.The GPU load was at 2%.

Hardware Acceleration sucks for adobe flash player. On many occasions there is literally no difference in CPU usage.

On youtube it leaves the CPU free but who can tolerate it with that one second shutter when you full screen the video with Hardware Acceleration?? Not worth it at all I say as long as you have a quad core CPU leave all Hardware Acceleration aside.

I was watching a movie on power DVD and it was having problems. I turned off Hardware Acceleration and the problem was gone. From that day I never bother with it on anything, just too many problems associated with Hardware Acceleration.
