rudrax Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 At the time of browsing some graphically rich sites, firefox is found high on CPU. This is because, by default, firefox doesn't have its Hardware acceleration enabled. This results in more load on CPU even if you have a GPU for the purpose.To enable hardware acceleration in firefox,Type about:config in the address bar and hit Enter.Accept the security warning.Then paste gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.enabled on the search bar.When it appears in the result, double click in it to change the value from false to true.Now, paste mozilla.widget.render-mode on the search bar. No results? Ok. Right-click in the results area and go to New>Integer. Then in the box, enter mozilla.widget.render-mode and press OK. Then enter its value as 6 and press OK.For chrome and IE, here's the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zex Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Haha you're both wrong... :PFirst the picture you showed dcs18 actually enables Hardware Acceleration [it will also make text blurry when unchecked]And the setting you provided rudrax doesn't enable Hardware Acceleration, it adds to it and making it better.Read more here & here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The title doesn't specify whether it's text or widget.

Meh.it will become a problem if firefox set it as defaultso, that why its set as falseI own ATI 4870, and always have serious page loading problems after enabling hardware acceleration. If you are using 4xxx card, you are better off being happy without it, cause trust me, it will fuckup your browsing (on old cards that is).

Some pages load only with Hardware Acceleration enabled02.) Some pages load only with Hardware Acceleration disabled03.) When Hardware Acceleration is disabled those tweaks need to be enabled for good text-rendering04.) When Hardware Acceleration is enabled the tweaks mentioned on post 1 need to be disabled for good text-rendering05.) Finally, when all above variables are fine-tuned, what looks best to me looks ugly to a Reader with good vision.I found something (by mistake - many years ago) which removes all above restrictions while at the same time also works optimum on all kind of pages; for n00bs and Enthusiasts, alike and very importantly addresses issue # 05.) mentioned above (meaning it can be customized as per personal vision) as it has it's own GUI.Before proceeding be sure to delete (reset) that tweak by Vishal (mozilla.widget.render-mode.)Check out the Firefox add-on at the following link:-https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/anti-aliasing-tuner/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
