Maximize Google Chrome GPU Performance on Windows 10.

There are several optimizations that make Google Chrome run buttery smooth under Windows 10.

chrome://flags Settings

Open a new tab in Google Chrome and type “chrome://flags” in the URL bar.

Then search for each of these flags and make the following changes:

GPU Rasterization: Force-enabled for all layers
- This setting will force Google Chrome to always use the GPU for rasterizing web content
Out of Process Rasterization: Enabled
- This settings performs Ganesh raster in the GPU processs
Zero-Copy Rasterizer: Enabled
- This setting allows the raster threads to write directly to the GPU memory. Requires hardware accelerated Native GpuMemoryBuffers
Override software rendering list: Enabled
- This setting will force Google Chrome to to use hardware acceleration (see below)

you should now be able to access the 3D Earth Google Maps feature (look for an “Earth” icon in the Google Maps Preview lower right corner);
try some 1080p full-screen YouTube or Flash videos with and without hardware acceleration in Chrome – in my test using Intel graphics, a full-screen YouTube video used twice as much CPU without hardware acceleration than when enabling hardware acceleration in Chrome;
