The web at maximum FPS: How WebRender gets rid of jank

For WebRender, we targeted the integrated GPUs. You still need some logic to ensure you don't accidentally kick the discrete one into gear, but the integrated ones definitely have enough performance for almost anything WR will throw at it.

Could you elaborate the edge cases which fall beyond "almost anything WR will throw at it" ie what are the use cases where you would end up waking the discrete GPU?

I would personally imagine anything more complex than Quake Live would probably trigger the discrete GPU.

Is there any requirements for a minimum version of opengl for WebRender that you know of?
