[QUOTE="BlueMax1916, post: 808563, member: 30294"] [b]AW: AMD e-350 For client and server[/b] If you optimize the setup you can well run every HD resolution on this board. The most intensive part is running FullHD 1080i with Vector Adaptive De-Interlacing. But this will run also smoothly if you fine tune the system. You need to install SAF 6.00 and use DXVAChecker to switch on VA De-Interlacing. My GPU usage was around 98% and my CPU usage only 14% watching a 1080i video with VA De-Interlacing. No stutter there. Other tweaks: 1.) One of the most important tweak on an ASUS E350 board would be to run the RAM with 1333 MHz instead of 1066 MHZ which can be done by a simple BIOS setting. As the E350 platform only uses one single RAM channel and as CPU and GPU use the same RAM running it on 1333 MHz will boost performance of data transfers from and to RAM by theoretically roughly 33%. 2.) The other important tweak is to set Video RAM for the graphics adapter to at least 512 GB in BIOS. This option is not recognizable at first in the BIOS. You have to play with the BIOS VGA settings to see the option in BIOS. 3.) To reduce data transfers from and to drives (SSD or HDD) if you have 8 GB of RAM use a 2 - 4 GB RAMDisk for the timebuffer of the TVServer. Beware if you have a Philips TV. The ATI Catalyst driver will not read the TV's EDID data correctly and you may end up with psychedelic colors on your TV. There is no remedy right now as ATI driver team did not fix this for a long time and I presume this will not happen for another long period. I notified them when Catalyst 11.5 came out but they did not react. Other than that it is a good platform and I would still use it if I had not encountered the troubles with ATI <-> Philips TV. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
