I don't have 9 series, and I always disable acceleration because more and more videos are now AV1 or HEVC 10bit. To sum it up, anyone with older video cards (below 2014) needs to disable it, too. Not sure if the developer would even bother himself with the testings on relics. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotHereToPlayGames Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 So vanilla is fine? On my end, I've only noticed a CPU max when I leave Thorium open and go into HIBERNATE. When I come out of hibernate, the CPU maxes out. But I can generally just "wait it out" (90 seconds or so!). To be fair though, Serpent 52 does the same thing. Acer Aspire 1 with XP x86. Intel Atom. circa 2008/2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, cool in a dancing bear sort of way. The most recent release with its archive file Thorium_SSE2_122.0.6261.171_WINXP_x32.zip does not run well on my system. Mainly because the provided progwrp.dll does not support hardware acceleration on my hardware. It is not able to activate it. Thus, I replaced this by IDA-RE-things' Chrome XP API Adapter which at least enables a bit hardware acceleration. The reason for "only a bit" is that, although GPU rasterisation can be enabled, it doesn't work as it should. It does exactly the opposite, it slows everything down. So I have to switch it off and use the software rasterisation instead. Edited June 11 by AstroSkipper Update of content 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even IDA-RE-things' progwrp.dll behaves itself most of the time (running it now), first time i've seen it dime out like that. z87 with 4770k & 980ti, 32-bit XP 5 minutes ago, AstroSkipper said: provided progwrp.dll does not support hardware acceleration on my hardware. Don't think it supports HW acceleration on any HW. Can you actually feel the browser running smoother with HW acceleration enabled? (not sure I can, MotionMark tells me there's a big difference) 8 minutes ago, AstroSkipper said: although GPU rasterization can be enabled, it doesn't work as it should.

I only use a 2013 dual core Pentium on that PC with the internet. Both cores frequent to the max with literally everything with this browser.

That said, it's not normal, even if we all understand it was made in January 2013, it can still play games up to 2018. Load shows as 100%. Temps would be like I was playing a demanding game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(not sure I can, MotionMark tells me there's a big difference) Without hardware acceleration, the Thorium browser is nearly unusable on my weak hardware. Websites take ages to load completely, and videos cannot be played at all. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDA-RE-things Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 (edited) Hello, I have browsing the topic and have read above. Its strange that it eats 100% of some CPU cores. Is it appears also with original progwrp ? If no, I will fix it. Also I should know which process of the browser do it (renderer, or others). And other info how to reproduce. This behaviour not appears on any of my machines with 1-4 cores . And no one user have reported it. Is it also reproduced with latest Supermium or only with Thorium ? Are you using the latest version of adapter - build 5061 ? Be best way of course is to write a bugreport on github.

Forgot to check which process was eating those two threads, Been running the browser with your progwrp.dll (version 1, 2, 0, 5061) for a few hours now, and this hasn't happened again (so hard to replicate). If it does happen, i'll note the process & make a bug report on github. OTOH, reproducing the issue with GTX770 & AV1 is simple -- after a few seconds, the video ( AV1) portion of YouTube stream freezes, with audio freezing a few seconds later ("wait" spinner on the screen). Reloading the page plays the video for a few seconds before the problem recurs. Thanks for making this, BTW. Edited June 11 by 66cats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vista x86 WITHOUT SP1 or SP2, yes, using D3D9 HW acceleration-mode because in Vista WITHOUT SP1 or SP2, DX11 wasn't implemented yet, so the behaviour is rather similar to XP. Driver version 347.26 (iCafe). Nvidia Titan 6gb (Jan. 2013). Probably make use of the Vista's native DX10, then? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltage spikes, when starting the browser or trying to play a video, on my GPU happen with both of those dlls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
