What do you mean "use GPU acceleration"? Are you saying that a large percentage of sites use WebGL? Using GPU acceleration for web page rendering is just a browser performance optimization. They can render the same page without GPU only slower.
- colordrops 9y agoI'm more specifically talking about WebGL. We'd love to use headless chrome at our company but we can't. But even for things like CSS transforms, we do a lot of really heavy 3D work and software emulation won't cut it.
- nikisweeting 9y agoCSS transforms work just fine without the GPU. We use it extensively for screenshot testing our CSS transform-based animations on https://oddslingers.com https://oddslingers.com.
- colordrops 9y agoWe are using a ton of them to create 3D heads up display camera overlays. They are too slow with GL software rendering.
- nikisweeting 9y agoNot sure what you mean? Usually people use either CSS 3D Transforms or WebGL, but not both.
- colordrops 9y agoWhat do you mean? We are using both right now. Why can't they both be used on the same page?
- kyberias 9y agoI think you're confusing WebGL (explicit GPU usage) and how GPU is used to implement CSS transforms (transparent, implicit GPU usage).
- colordrops 9y agoNo, I'm not. We are using both a webgl context to render 3d objects on the screen using shaders, and 3D CSS transforms to render overlays on a video stream.
- kyberias 9y agoOk you are. But most web sites are not.
