And Flash Player 10.1 beta is out, yeah!
I can't see anything that it's for nVidia GPU's only, so could you test it Harry?

For now I've only tested the following (with Firefox 3.6b2):
YouTube - Where the Hell is Matt? (HD)
Flash Element 2 - Tower Defense.net (highest quality, music, sounds and jibblets on with fast forward action)
Doom Triple Pack
... and all I can say is... PHUNK YEAH!
I know that some of you might not notice any difference with your i7 quad CPU's, but after giving my good old AMD x2 4200+ a little brake, I sure can.
Well done Adobe! :thumbsup:

Another one of those "we will speed up your *everything* up to 5000%"?

There's a big difference between slow buffering and low framerate of those videos.

When watching a vid, it HAS TO buffer itself (AKA download on your computer) and not even a Super Highspeed Video accelerator can do anything about it if your connection is slow (or in some cases a badly configured network), in any case you HAVE TO wait for it to buffer.

A slow framerate of the video usually occurs on slower computers, below 1GHz single-core let's say but we all know how really it's like , well, because, basically - Flash sucks.
YES, you will get a better framerate (tho don't expect anything above 30fps, that's usually yt's standard) of most of youtubes (or vimeos, wutever) HD vids when downloaded and played on *ANY* player that understands that format (Media Player Classic Home Cinema with Shark's codecs is my favorite combination), you don't have a Special Only Super Video Accelerator Plus util for that. But if your computer is slow you will get slow framerate on both.

BTW: the newest Flash 10.1 beta 3 is out since Feb 23, along with newest NVidia drivers it speeds up the experience greatly even on my friends single-core 1GHz CPU with some GeForce7 card and he was finally able to see some HD movies.
