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%.
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?
