12:00AM September 30, 2009 | Jesus Diaz

At last, here’s a GPU-accelerated Flash player. That means two things: One, my laptop won’t melt every time I run video streaming sites. Two, since almost every Nvidia GPU is supported, even smartphones will be able to play HD Flash video.

Nvidia has been demonstrating builds of the GPU-accelerated Flash player around, and it’s making an announcement on October 5. According to those who have seen it, it provides ultra-smooth high definition video playback, even on portable Tegra platforms.

About time. [Notebookjournal.de via Hexus]

    Does that mean the PS3 might actually be able to play HD flash now or is that some other limitation
