Sweet... wonder if it will work with all newer nvidia cards. They only list a few... what about hacks?

Update: Doesnt work on my hack, nvidia 260, tested before and after ff and safari identical after each test.

This will suck, Adobe is incapable of making Flash work well on a Mac, which is strange because I can't think of a single other program that sucks on Mac speed wise. I'll try it out but I have no doubt it will blow chunks.

Anand says it works on his GTX 285.

Wonder if it'll work on my dell 9 hackintosh. Probably not.

I guess it would be too much to ask to support a gma950

Dude, nothing supports the GMA950. It is sad, because the thing will at least run 720p MKVs.

wonder why its not working on my 260 gtx? I am using DSDT method wonder if it would work if i used strings.

my processor can handle 1080p on my macbook (2.0 dual core) but it would be nice for the internal graphics to take some of the load of the processor, specially with flash.

Hmm.. I thought I'd notice a decrease in CPU, but really haven't. I have a 9400m in my machine, so maybe that's partly the reason why. I might try and reinstall it later to make sure it's working correctly.

 

[doh123]

I installed this (I have a 320m) and there is a noticeable difference in processor usage, and flash videos are playing smoother... so its kinda nice. I'd rather just not have to have flash at all though.

 

[QueBert]

Looks like no ATI support is even in the works. SIGH lol

 

[ChAoTiCpInOy]

Sucks it doesn't work with the X3100. Anyways, it says is supports the 9400M does that mean when I am using my 9600m it will use the 9400 exclusively for flash decoding?

Just used this test:
http://www.craftymind.com/factory/guimark/GUIMark_Flex3.html

Before the upgrade to 10.1 I was at 19.5 Average FPS after the upgrade 35.25 Average FPS

Apple MacBook Pro 13'' Mid 2009

 

[episodic]

Works great on my late 2009 mac mini.

thats odd... my MBP 13 2010 is only pulling like 19 and 20

the enable disable hardware acceleration checkbox is doing nothing

My mid 2009 13" macbook pro is getting ~18fps after upgrade as well in Firefox.

In Chrome it was up to about 39 fps, but the fans still started spinning up something fierce. That NEVER happens on my POS Thinkpad T60.

Yeah, I have a feeling the GMA950 will never be supported also. I was able to play 1080p smoothly on my Modded 2.16Ghz C2D (new CPU) mini and saw no issues at all.

Hey, we can always hope!

That's weird. What browser?

 

[doh123]

18-20 FPS on safari
5 to 15 on Firefox.. with weird pauses...
39 - 40 on chrome

 

[silverpig]

Trying it on my Q6600/7900GS hack now.

Pre-install: ~35-40 fps in chrome
Post-install: 45 fps in chrome

Sweet.

But did hardware accel work seems like you just got a bit more from the beta flash. Did you see the white box as described.

Hmm, seems not. Although I have my youtube set to html5 by default. No white square on vimeo.
