The interpolation of positions isn’t done solely on the GPU. Not all of this is stored in GPU memory at once, a lot is stored in system RAM and shuffled in and out. That requires the content that’s being rendered to have higher bit depth.

Your statement, to me, doesn’t hold water. > That's the job of the GPU driver, mostly. Even JS is too much, but I guess it does have to stay. My personal opinion is that everything app-like about browsers needs to be undone, yesterday, and they should again become the hypertext document viewers they were meant to be. > browsers are almost unrecognizable in featureset to the point they resemble an OS unto themselves That's what Microsoft does historically, nothing new here. Microsoft decided that themselves and ruined the UX for the remaining 99% of the users that still use a mouse and a keyboard. No one asked for Windows on touchscreen anything.

> fancy APIs for easier development allowing for more features Not everyone needs it, so it should be an optional installable component for those who do. Windows 7 already had one and ran on 1 GB of RAM. That's the job of the GPU driver, mostly. HDR, fluid animations, monstrous resolutions
