What happens if many tabs are opened at the same time while gaming?as I usually leave my browser open while gaming.. I tried opening around 20 tabs and my GPU memory usage jumps from 180MB to 500++ MB which is similar to my GPU memory usage when I’m playing Dragon Age Origins (1280x1024 Max 4AA on GTX275), didn’t test it with gaming though.

I’m just downloading firefox-3.7a3pre.en-US.win32.zip (13-Mar-2010 05:09), from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/

Is the preference included in this one? What is the name of the preference.

Thanks.

Id like to ask one question. If you use GPU (nvidia gf9600 gt for example) to decode a video, the CPU utilization (lets take a C2D E8400 for example) decreases from roughly tenths of percent to just 1-5%. The question is: can we expect this big decrease in CPU utilization using GPU accelerated Firefox instead of CPU accelerated? If not, how big decrease are we talking about here (just roughly, i know there are many factors playing a role here)? And I mean regarding final release of GPU accelerated firefox, not beta build. And when can we expect this final release, if it can be discerned at this point of time?

Thanks for the answer
bye

@Stephanie - The cairo guys are working on cairo-gl which should help firefox in the longrun. I wouldn’t expect this to be functional for at least a year though, let alone start seeing firefox builds using it.
