1034688 - Need more Telemetry on gfx configuration

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Toolkit :: Telemetry, defect)

Description

[Vladan Djeric (:vladan)]

In a recent blogpost http://ravitillo.wordpress.com/2014/07/03/most-popular-gpus-on-nightly/, Roberto studied the distribution of GPUs among Firefox users and their impact on tab animation smoothness.

We could make such analyses more reliable (less noisy), by reporting additional information about the computer's gfx system to Telemetry.

Additional probes required:

- Direct3D version and Direct2D version
- Presence of multiple monitors
- Screen resolution for each monitor
- Refresh rate for each monitor
- Hardware acceleration enabled or disabled
- Clock speed of CPU and/or model name
- Whether font scaling is happening (known to affect gfx performance)
- Fixing the isGPU2Active flag: bug 591057 related?

bug 1023508 might already cover the scaling aspect

Actually I think we can do better so clearing review for now.

We are reporting the clock speed.

David, is this still relevant?

Or is it completed?

We can probably close this one.
