What is hardware acceleration feature in opera browser??

Hello JP,

Hardware acceleration allows Opera to offload graphics rendering from the processor (CPU) to the graphics card (GPU). This makes graphics intensive operations such as animations faster.


Here's some more info on this:

• Opera Desktop Team - Hardware acceleration
• Opera Desktop Team - Update on hardware acceleration in Opera 12

Hope this helps,
Shawn
