It is official.Â* As of today, the web browser â?? the #1 app on the PC -Â* is now GPU accelerated.
We have worked closely with Microsoft since the start of Internet Explorer 9 development to bring the power of the GPU to the Web.Â* Along the way, weâ??ve blogged about the advantages of GPU-accelerated PCs (http://blogs.nvidia.com/2010/03/sneak-peek-of-internet-explorer-9-with-next-generation-ion/) and the great HTML5 sites (http://blogs.nvidia.com/2010/09/next-killer-app-for-gpus-internet-explorer-9-beta-launch/) you can soon expect accelerated by the GPU.
Today, with the official launch of IE9, PCs everywhere can experience:
Rich HTML5 sites like www.webvizbench.com (http://www.webvizbench.com/) with much more dynamic and interactive content than before â??all made possible by the GPU
HD Video natively accelerated by the browser and GPU without the need for additional plug-ins
Browser-based games running directly on the latest DirectX 11 GeForce GPU like your favorite PC game titles
So what does this really mean to you the consumer?Â* IE9 will help transform the web to a much more exciting, dynamic and compelling experience â?? much like DX11 gaming is worlds beyond Farmville.Â* And it is yet another example of why you need an Optimized PC or Notebook with a powerful NVIDIA GPU paired with a strong CPU to deliver overall the best experience.
Congratulations Microsoft!Â* Make sure to download IE9 (http://www.beautyoftheweb.com/) today.
