My real desire here is to have a gpu monitor. These weather
satellite loops are not the only reason for wanting this. But the loops are an easy
demonstration of where a gpu monitor really would be nice to have available.
The url is:

The satellite can be set to either GOES-East (GOES-16) or Himawari-8.
I usually click the "Zoom (+)" either once or twice.
For "Product", I most often choose "RGB Air Mass (EUMETSAT)".
The RGB Air Mass is not imaged by the satellite. Rather it is derived (calculated) from
four other bands that are imaged by the satellite. I do not know if that math is done by
the host or on my workstation.
The reason I asked about the site was two-fold. Always nice to have another weather
satellite site, especially during typhoon season. And, my system happens to run the
rpmfusion/nVidia drivers and my card is a GeForce GTX 660. akmod-nvidia-390.59-1 is
the current driver.
Viewing that site within Chrome on F28/KDE is smooth at all speeds and all products
for me.
I really wouldn't expect a site such as that to be much of a gpu hog. I think it
just downloads a series of images and then loops through them. I would think that
watching a high-def movie with lots of action would be more of a strain on the gpu.
Anyway, I suppose I would check the nVida site to see if they have tools since you
are using their gpu and driver.
Oh, and thanks for the weather site. :-)
