This seems to be a feature request. Hence, marking it as untriaged for more inputs from dev team. Thanks...!!

give to PM to triage if optimization should support old hardware.

Could you clarify what user facing functionality is impacted/missing on the older hardware?

Well Chrome apparently doesn't support older hardware so it uses software acceleration and that's why my CPU is always at 99%

Unfortunately the older hardware generally has buggy drivers which can lead to unpredictable results. You might check to see if you can update the drivers for your video card, since that should be the only thing keeping you off the fast path. I think these are the drivers for your card: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/legacy?product=legacy3&os=Windows%2010%20-%2064 They are from 2015/2016 though so that may not be enough. You can choose to ignore our blacklists by using --ignore-gpu-blacklist and if that's not sufficient --disable-gpu-driver-bug-workarounds but this may lead to crashes and instability. You might try finding an older but still maintained graphics card too. Good luck.

What do you mean the drivers are buggy? Can you just update the engine so that supports older hardware and make it lighter on resources? |
