- 72deluxe 13y agoSurely GIFs are hardware accelerated these days? Great article, right?
- aspensmonster 13y agoOh FFS. Where's the principle of charity when you need it? YES. Without graphics processing of one form or another, on one chip or another, over one cable or bus or another, to one screen or terminal or another, your GIF absolutely won't be visible. Or your PNG, or your JPG, or your desktop or movie or e-book. Nothing will be visible.
- 72deluxe 13y agoMaybe I was a bit harsh. Now on to create something that's both cool and really matters (satisfying both the kids and the elders). If you're viewing GIFs on Windows and it is drawn using GDI or GDI+, nothing is accelerated. It's bust.
