Turning off Hardware Acceleration in Chrome
Problem
Google Chrome is not fully compatible with all display hardware; therefore, on some computers, Hardware Acceleration when using large drawing area has performance issues.
Solution
- Open Google Chrome
- Click on Chrome’s main menu button (represented by three dots in the upper right). When the drop-down menu appears, select the option labeled Settings.
- Chrome’s Settings should now be displayed in a new tab or window.
- Search for 'Hardware'
- Deselect 'Use hardware acceleration when available'
- You must close your browser, and reopen it for these setting to take effect.
This will speed up the performance of your browser when using charts that have a large number of boxes on a single page.
