Firefox 115 Now Available With Intel GPU Video Decoding On Linux
I wonder if its talking about descrete or the integrated ones.
Probably both, the drivers are almost the same, just need a kernel flag.
If so that's great for everybody... well almost everybody period, most notebooks have Intel gpus even if they have Optimus too.

4 0 ReplyThis makes no sense to me. I've had h264 decoding on Firefox with VAAPI for years.
3 0 ReplyMozilla has finally blessed Intel graphics hardware with the open-source VA-API video decode stack to enable that hardware acceleration by default.
Think it's enabled by default now.
But yeah, I've also had Firefox with VAAPI working with Intel Arc for a while too, I just had to set some stuff in about:config.

As a layman, what does this mean roughly? Videos played on youtube will use more GPU than CPU?
