Question

Flash Player 11 3D always rendered using CPU not GPU on MAC OS

Hello,

I have Flash Player 11.0.1.152 installed on

  • System - iMac with Intel Core 2 Duo 3.06 GHz and Memory 4 GB
  • OS - Lion 10.7.2
  • Graphics - NVIDIA GeForce 9400 vRAM total 256MB
  • Browsers - Current versions of Safari, Firefox & Chrome

These are the demos I have been trying to view -

http://www.nissan-stagejuk3d.com

http://alternativaplatform.com/en/demos/maxracer/

Hardware acceleration is enabled however Stage3D is very jerky and not at all responsive as seen in the demo videos which makes me feel that the software renderer is in action. Also CPU usage goes beyond 100% very quickly.

Note: Before this, I have installed a incubator build and was able to run some of the demos without any trouble which means that my system is compatible (Please correct me if I am wrong about this assumption.) however now they don't work and sometimes my browser crashes too.

I have already tried uninstall and install to no avail.

Please help to resolve asap.

Thanks!

The performance seems directly proportional to the size of the stage area.

With the 21.5 inch iMAC, by default I am on the resolution 1920x1080.

The http://www.nissan-stagejuk3d.com/ site has a liquid layout and perhaps this makes it difficult for even the gpu to render with my configuration.

If I resize my browser window to the resolution of 1024x768, the performance is fantastic.

Suggestions are welcome

i confirmed with someone who worked on the feature that there was a perfomance issue, which is driver related.  the fix is 2 fold, requiring OSX 10.7.2 and the Anza release.  you have the OSX update.  unfortunately, you'll need to wait for the next player release, codename Anza.

Alright, just heard about beta release of 11.2, is this the next version of the player you're referring to? If not, please let me know an estimated release date or if there are alternate solutions?
