will it finally support NVIDIA cards?
Same question

I installed the Beta today on an sd card and it booted and runs great. I have a lenovo 510p which rocks nvidia gpus. The alphas had trouble booting, but the beta seems fine. I think they did this by disabling the the nvidia and enabling the intel gpubecause when I ran AnTuTu the gpu score was really low for nvidia gaming gpus.

I have a 960gtx and it's working for me although I don't think it's using video acceleration, or if it is then it seems slow. Played Samurai Vengeance and it played but seemed laggy. Also can't play videos in mxplayer, it just closes.
Any android apps that can actually use the power of nvidia cards? Some 3d games that I thought looked great on phone looked well not so good on the big screen. The old intel integrated does not seem to have any issue running them.
I also have a GTX 960 and it doesnt work. It uses VMware graphics acceleration instead, which are very laggy. I enabled the onboard Intel HD gpu and this makes everything very smooth, including games.

As far as I know, if we want the RemixOS support Nvidia, we should waiting for Linux Kernel 4.6.
Based on http://phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=NVIDIA-Blobs-In-Linux-Firmware Phoronix info. The new Nouveau driver that supported Maxwell will land for linux 4.6 kernel.

huh....are you running RemixOS in vmware?
My Alienware X51 has an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660...which runs RemixOS at my display's native resolution, 1920x1080 using the nouveau flags.
My other PC has an NVIDIA QUADRO K2000 GPU which boots RemixOS fine without any error....without any extra flags at all.
Full HD videos plays without any problem....don't know about youtube and streaming videos as it does not detect my usb wifi dongle.
Most 3D (HD) games runs fine too.

Please add support for opengles 3.0 or later for radeon driver in Remix Os, cause I can't run many apps and games that support for opengles 3.0. So I have to root Remix Is and change opengles version to version 2.0 in build.prop so apps can run,
CPU: Intel I7 2600
GPU: NVidia GTX 960
RAM: 8GB DDR3
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120 GB
WiFi: Realtek RTL8192CU USB 2.0
Works fine but wifi sometimes needs reset and remix os seems to use a single CPU core - CPU is heavily throttling all the time. Also the GPU is seen as VMWare generic GPU and I have no graphic acceleration. The system freezes for a few seconds when heavily loaded but I think it's due to missing graphic acceleration/missing multiple cores I guess.
surface pro 3 i3 intel hd graphic,work well,but sometime lose connection on wifi and touchscreen some time stop working and resume working after reboot

System works fine. Runs only on GPU embedded on CPU, would be great see it running on my GeForce. WiFi signal is a little weak, but nothing too annoying. Data.img size is terrible we need more space to test the OS, root access either. Remix messes with Windows clock. Please, enable launchers from Play Store (Nova works great, for example). Sound thru HDMI support is hard, I know, but it would be so great.

Everything works except Bluetooth. Also the game KOTOR does not start because it is looking at alternate storage places even though none are installed. I also have Remix OS installed on its own partition.

like was stated before, hoping for driver optimizations for the gpu, since i know that x.org is just the basic of the basic and I notice stuttering in some games that i try to play. On another note, I had one hell of a trouble to get Remix OS installed directly onto a partition that i set up for it, but it is working well now.
Surface Pro 3, i5.
Works well except:
DPI scaling has to be done before each boot
Touch screen stops working seemingly at random after a while
WiFi dropping out.
Once those things are fixed it'll be booted more than Windows

So far, I've had great success. The problem I've had are mostly with games and keyboard input. Both Dominations and Star Wars Commander, I just can't get my USB keyboard to work (the entire system will freeze up, requiring a reboot). Chrome, Firefox, etc have all been amazing. And I apologize if I've missed this elsewhere, but is there a keyboard/mouse way to do pinch to zoom?

Surface Pro 1 Works fine, would like to see some power saving features added..
NUC fully functional but as with many people no HDMI sound, Sound works via line out, as I run this thru my TV I can't get any sound, there needs to be HDMI sound support and a way to switch between the different outputs.

I like many use HDMI output on my device (haven't tried it yet, I just installed this OS today) I'm very impressed with the overall speed, however we're missing a storage option in the settings menu, and my device has no sound output through the built in speakers (i have not yet tested the headphone jack). Also my battery life always shows 100%. I am running OS version 2.0.201

Video is a little choppy, and after changing the dpi ( 1920x1200 on 8" ) to 240 it stopps working.
And it took ages ( ~1H ) to generate that 8GB data Partition, so give the chance to change the size.
I had to use http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/winapp-android-x86-installer-uefi-t3222483 to install on a Dell Venue 8 Pro

Slow 3D graphic on intel HD 520

Hello everyone, I have a HP spectre x360 with an i5 6200u, I have installed RemixOS 64bit on a partition and I tried Asphalt 8 , I saw around that should be running ok , but on my machine is not, the graphic is extremely slow, even if the LCD is actually 1920x1080 it should have any problem performance side, ram is ok , 8gb at this rate should be ok for the nex 2 android releases , RemixOS runs andord 4.4.x with is completly ok on my machine (wich is running ubuntu 16.04).
Any idea?

Choppy 1080p playback on Asus Chromebox CN60 (Celeron 2955U + 8GB Ram)

After a number of failing Android TV boxes, I began searching for something better. I had set up an openelec box for my buddy on a CN60, and figured I'd do something similar as the hardware seemed more than performant.
My needs: Plex, Kodi, Netflix. Much of my local content is 1080p.
After successfully installing Remix OS (3.0.7) on my upgraded chromebox (celeron 2955u w/ 8gb ram) everything seemed to perform fairly snappy. Apps load quick. The OS itself loads quick. The trouble began when I started setting up plex and kodi.
SD is fine. 720p is a bit choppy but fairly smooth but 1080p files basically don't play at all. They begin to play and are choppy as heck. Audio is ok, but the video frame rate is maybe 1 frame per 30 seconds, and sometimes just stops all together.
I assume this is a limitation of the code. Has anyone worked out a solution? Does remix perform like this on higher end hardware? I have some i5's kicking about, I just wanted to use this on a machine with a smaller power and size footprint.

Plays 1080p just fine via openelec, ubuntu, or gallium.

Maybe you should the dev team to get improved support for your device then
I've got a CN60 Celeron CPU and from what I've read the only sure way to get 1080P on these devices is with a core i3 or i5 option not the Celeron. As history proves, the Celeron is a pathetic CPU except for web surfing and document creation with occasional SD video watching.

As I stated above, the Celeron proves more than capable of playing 1080p files (streams or local) on a number of other OS'. (Currently running Gallium w/ Kodi 17 beta, its fairly snappy.) I suppose its a limitation of the Android-x86 instruction set being more geared towards newer CPU's. It should be noted that Remix OS for PC is advertised as being built to 'bring old hardware back to life', so I figured I'd pose the question to see if there was a solution other than 'get a new computer.'

Then check which drivers are being loaded by the OSes and see if there's anything standing out.
