Embodiments of a system and method for enhanced graphics rendering performance in a hybrid computer system are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a graphical element in a frame, application, or web page, which is to be presented to a user via a web browser, is rendered either by a first processor or a second processor based on indications of whether the first or the second processor is equipped or configured to provide faster rendering. A rendering engine may utilize either processor based on historical or anticipated rendering performance, and may dynamically switch between the hardware decoder and general purpose processor to achieve rendering time performance improvement. Switches between processors may be limited to a fixed number switches or switching frequency.

Hybrid rendering systems and methods

Embodiments of a system and method for enhanced video performance in a video playback system are generally described herein. In some embodiments, a video frame from a video element in a web page, which is to be presented in a web browser and is unobscured by any other elements associated with the web page, the web browser, or a user interface, is directly rendered by a hardware decoder and composited with any associated web content or other elements directly to a video playback display device. When a video frame from the video element is obscured by another element the video frame is rendered by a processor in the video playback display device in order to incorporate the non-video graphics element on the video playback device.
