The term Hardware acceleration means that the computer hardware is used to perform a particular task and run faster than with software. This can significantly improve the performance of an application.

If you disable hardware acceleration completely, the application runs in software rendering mode, which could affect performance. However, you may need to disable hardware acceleration for a particular application.
