Poor Video Performance In Chrome
I've just installed Ubuntu 18.04 and Chrome, but I'm noticing that video performance feels a quite a bit slower than when my PC could do in Windows. Is there something I'm missing that would improve things?
My PC is reasonably powerful
- Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6600K CPU @ 3.50GHz
- ASUS STRIX GeForce GTX 970
- 32GB RAM on a fast SSD
I think I'm using the correct driver from nvidia
filename: /lib/modules/4.15.0-45-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia.ko
alias: char-major-195-* version: 390.77 supported:
external license: NVIDIA srcversion:
209B1D0CB123DE466F700AD alias:
pci:v000010DEd00000E00svsdbc04sc80i00* alias:
pci:v000010DEdsvsdbc03sc02i00 alias:
pci:v000010DEdsvsdbc03sc00i00 depends: ipmi_msghandler
retpoline: Y name: nvidia vermagic:
4.15.0-45-generic SMP mod_unload signat: PKCS#7
I don't know if it helps at all, but inside Chrome if I go to chrome://gpu/ I can see the following
Graphics Feature Status
Canvas: Hardware accelerated
Flash: Hardware accelerated
Flash Stage3D: Hardware accelerated
Flash Stage3D Baseline profile: Hardware accelerated
Compositing: Hardware accelerated
Multiple Raster Threads: Enabled
Native GpuMemoryBuffers: Software only. Hardware acceleration disabled

Skia Deferred Display List: Disabled
Skia Renderer: Disabled
Surface Control: Disabled
Surface Synchronization: Enabled
Video Decode: Unavailable
Viz Service Display Compositor: Enabled
WebGL: Hardware accelerated
WebGL2: Hardware accelerated
I can see that is says 'Video Decode: Unavailable' - does that mean anything?

Go in Chromium settings Disable hardware acceleration. In the URL bar type chrome://flags/ enable Override software rendering list.

Can you help me understand this better? Wouldn't software rendering be slower than hardware acceleration? Is it safe to assume that in Windows it would be using hardware acceleration for video?
