A Closer Look at Internet Explorer 9 Hardware Acceleration Through Flying Images | |
|
||
| Time: 02:36 EST/07:36 GMT | News Source: Microsoft | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||
|
One of our objectives with Internet Explorer 9 is taking full advantage of modern PC hardware to make the browser faster. We’re excited about hardware acceleration because it fundamentally improves the performance of websites. The websites that you use every day become faster and more responsive, and developers can create new classes of web applications through standards based markup that were previously not possible. In this post, we take a closer look at how hardware acceleration improves the performance of the Flying Images sample on the IE9 test drive site. | ||

Firefox wins by a mile. 40 FPS with the flying images in the centre of the screen.
IE8 and Chrome only manage 1 FPS! Not bad coming from a Microsoft test site :) http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Performance/01FlyingImages/Default.html |

| Firefox and Opera both look like they are distorting the images... |

| I hit 63 with FF. |

Yea, me too.. I don't understand why people don't give Opera more of a chance.. Have been using it for YEARS and still do.. It was the first with tabbed browsing and with mouse gestures and voice commands as little extras, I think it's the best. And go to Secunia and see how many vulnerabilities there are with opera compared to the other browsers. Opera has them all beat. So yea, Opera is my choice. |

I agree. Not only do the pictures look wrong they look lower quality in firefox. The edges look jagged and the pics look lower res then in Chrome or IE8. Anyone know why that is? |

| I think some of it may be video card power because Opera at work(integrated video) I'm only getting about 60 FPS with a low res look. |

| No matter what browser I'm using if I start seeing flying ads across the screen I'm logging off. |

#10 Really worried about ads, when this is a new evolution in online web content?
The whole point MS and the IE9 team are making is that for HTML5 to work, performance is key. And to accomplish this, they are taking a high level markup set of standards like HTML5 and shoving them to run as close to hardware as possible so you can be viewing CSS/HTML5 content and SVG and yet have it accelerated as close to running on the GPU as possible in this period in browser evolution. No Flash, Silverlight, WebGL or other technologies needed, run straight HTML5 content and scripts on the hardware and yes even get good performance on a low end machine, so that the HTML5 world is consistent and fast. This is why MS is urging other Browser makers to move to a hardware level composer so that HTML5 has a chance, because if they don't and web developers can't count on a good FPS in ALL browsers, either HTML5 will fail or IE9 will be the king of HTML5, neither is the optimal situation, even for MS. #1 Chrome is great at compiling the script and getting the images/content on the screen fast, but beyond that the WebKit heritage fails when it comes to realtime/dynamic rendering of on screen content. Firefox is middle of the road, and Opera is currently the king at doing a reasonable job although they are all still CPU bound, and other than a few multi-core tricks, don't provide the same level of performance of IE9 that does to take HTML5 to running on hardware as close as currently possible. The flying images demo on a desktop is going to show Chrome choke, and Firefox do maybe ok, and Opera do ok. However, if you go to a low end Netbook, IE9 will still maintain 30fps, where Chrome will choke and even Opera will only get 1-2fps. |
