IE 8 (and Chrome) can't handle six animated gif files running simultaneously? WTF?

It's just you

Looks weird in IE 7 too. Works fine in FF.

Yea it kinda freezes up when trying to scroll around the page when the gifs are in view.

Google Chrome is having a hard time with it, too. Then again, Google Chrome seems to suck at animating any number of .gifs

Just consider the .gifs as sex techniques.

Seems okay on IE8 on my old laptop.

Neither can Google Chrome on my laptop with a Core 2 at 2.2 GHz and 2 GB of RAM.

It goes all willy wonka with IE8 and a Core i7. Just goes slow.

Each gif is 1239x767 scaled down.

Doesn't work properly with IE 8 but works fine with Firefox.

opera wins all

Works fine in Firefox, IE8 slows down when scrolling around the gifs

 

[newnameman]

Works fine in IE7

 

[lxskllr]

Works fine in FF, kind of ugly with higher cpu usage in IE7-64bit

Does anyone know why IE and Chrome (and to a lesser extent Opera) have trouble displaying animated gif files? Are animated gif files considered something of the past, and it doesn't matter anymore if browsers can display them properly?

uses single digit cpu power in ff
dies in chrome lol🙂
maxes out a single core...

Works fine for me in FF, but in IE8, it lags when scrolling around it.

Someone go to a forum that uses animated gifs for their member avatars. See if the forum lags in IE8 😵

 

[Born2bwire]

Seems fine to me in IE8.

I've always had serious issues with IE of any version. I seem to be in the minority with most others not having the same issues, but I'm not surprised with this.
