Description for "GPU Model" needs to mention caveats #11

Open georgf opened 7 years ago

The description for "GPU Model" is misleading. The report only sees one GPU for users (whatever is first in environment.system.gfx.adapters), which may not be complete.

E.g. for me, i see only deviceId:0x0d26 (built-in Intel Iris Pro) in Telemetry. However, my MB Pro actually has a GeForce GT 750M. webgl actually sees the GT750M and presumably uses it for accelerated rendering.

We should call out that the hardware report is not representative for accelerated graphics at the moment.

Even for users with multiple gfx adapters reported in Telemetry, the hardware report currently only picks the first adapter.

This is a known issue that we need to look at again. Unclear whether Firefox can accurately tell which GPU is in use, and report it.

Frank will pick this up again, looking into what we can extract from the telemetry data we currently have.

The Firefox Hardware Report is now redirecting to the hardware dashboard of the Firefox Public Data Report. @georgf, if this is still an issue, please let me know (my email address is [my-username-on-this-site]@mozilla.com) and I'll re-open it in the ensemble repo.
