Internet Explorer 11 Will Use Your GPU to Make Everything Fast

I wonder if IE11 will still crash my Windows Volume Mixer, like IE's 9 though to 10 have done so far? Also I have an integrated graphics card on my computer so use of the GPU is useless here... again, abandon low and mid range laptops and IE11 will only be faster in high end laptops/desktops!

I'm sticking with Chrome!
 
Surprised IE wasn't already using acceleration. Firefox has been doing it since Version 3 or 3.5 if I'm not mistaken and I think Chrome has been doing it since the begining. Even with results shown here, I'm pretty sure one of these tests is biased and you just wait until all the clutter is on IE when it reaches us, it'll probably be as slow as it was with previous versions.
 
That's cool. But I think it will also be bad, as CPU and GPU will run at the same time, and will translate to a more power hungry system. Unless otherwise, low power GPU's will improve more and more... A ood thing for system with APU's though... 😉
