2012 March 19 - 17:45 Stage3D hardware support update
A couple of months ago I did an automated survey on the visitors of this site to figure out about how common supported hardware for Flash 11’s Stage3D is.
Time to repeat that to see if it’s improved.
The new numbers are: (based on about 1000 visitors)
46% DirectX9 Direct blitting
43% Software Direct blitting
8% DirectX9Ex Direct blitting
3% OpenGL Direct blitting
About 57% has a supported GPU/Drivers.
The result in November last year was about 51%, so it’s a slight improvement at least.
The drivers requirements will be relaxed some in Flash 11.2, so I hope to see a little higher numbers in another few months.
