2How to Enable or Disable Hardware Acceleration in Microsoft Edge [Tutorial]
Microsoft has adopted the Chromium open source project in the development of Microsoft Edge on the desktop to create better web compatibility. This new Microsoft Edge runs on the same Chromium web engine as the Google Chrome browser, offering you best in class web compatibility and performance.
Hardware Acceleration is enabled by default in Microsoft Edge. That means the web browser will move all text and graphics rendering from the CPU to the GPU. If you face issues when using the Edge browser, you may disable Hardware Acceleration and see if it makes a difference. Doing this also frees up valuable resources on your computer.
Hardware Acceleration means using the computer’s hardware for performing a certain task and function faster than would be possible using the software. This also allows for smooth rendering of graphics. In most processors, instructions are executed sequentially, i.e., one by one, but you can perform them faster if you modify the same process a bit using some technique. The idea is to move all graphics and text rendering from the Central Processing Unit to the Graphics Processing Unit, thereby getting better performance.
