[Bug 1485248] Re: No hardware acceleration out-of-the-box with Intel HD GPU
It may not ve very powerful but it's definitely more powerful than that. Look at this: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Intel-HD-Graphics-4000-Benchmarked.73567.0.html On Windows, they get around 30-40 fps with several videogames which render much complex scenes than the ones that yield me 18 or less. And 60fps is what your panel refresh rate is. I don't get why that should be a limit. There's a GpuTest tool that renders a single big triangle, and this gets around 1000 fps. By the way, it consumes 50% cpu (i.e. one full core), showing that it's not using any hardware acceleration, and that's rendering one triangle. Not software rendered: [32;01myes[00m Not blacklisted: [32;01myes[00m ... Is that reliable? Is there a benchmarking tool that can draw graphics and actually tell me whether all of those feature are being used from the GPU? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1485248 Title: No hardware acceleration out-of-the-box with Intel HD GPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1485248/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

You need to compare it with previous Ubuntu, not Windows. The driver might not perform as well on Linux, and you can file a bug for it on bugs.freedesktop.org if you like. but the distro driver still is hardware accelerated and you get the Unity UI - no bug here. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1485248 Title: No hardware acceleration out-of-the-box with Intel HD GPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1485248/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1485248] Re: No hardware acceleration out-of-the-box with Intel HD GPU
but the distro driver still is hardware accelerated That's what I doubt. How can I test and make sure it's not somehow falling back to emulating openGL in CPU? Doesn't the fact that the triangle test consumes 100% of a cpu core demonstrate that it's using the CPU to perform such a simple task as rendering a triangle? and you get the Unity UI That in itself doesn't prove it's hardware accelerated, does it? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1485248 Title: No hardware acceleration out-of-the-box with Intel HD GPU To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1485248/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
