[QUOTE="solas989, post: 633396, member: 87399"] I will tag along for more information: MediaPortal Version: 1.1 RC5 (Client/TV Server, same machine), upgraded from 1.1RC4 (not fresh install) MediaPortal Skin: BleazleWide v8.1 Windows Version: 7 32bit Home Premium CPU Type: AMD Athlon II X3 2.9GHz HDD: OS=160GB 7200RPM, Storage=2x250GB+1TB, all 7200RPM Memory: 2GB DDR3 Motherboard: ASUS M4A88TD-M/USB3 Video Card: ATI 5450 Crossfire with Motherboard IG: ATI 4250 Video Card Driver: ATI CCC 10.6 (latest) Sound Card: HT Omega Claro PCI (cant use HDMI 1.3a bc tv so darn old!) MPEG2 Video Codec: DirectX (utilizing ATI UVD 2.0) TV - HTPC Connection: HDMI (PC)--> DVI (TV) [B]OR[/B] HDMI (PC) --> HDMI (Yamaha 765) --> DVI (TV) Renderer: VMR9 I have dual monitors, TV (1080i, old Sony Rear Projection 10 years old lol) is extended from Monitor (1440x900x60hz). I have no stuttering that I notice. I have also patched through Yamaha receiver and no difference that I notice. At first I did, when using the MPC codec (default install) which did not utilize video card, just CPU. When I switched to Microsoft DirectX driver, I was able to utilize UVD 2.0 and max out my GPU (95% utilization for HD content). Every now and then I get some stuttering, but I can probably tag that as loss of signal since I have a small antenna and 60 foot trees blocking my direct path (wind makes trees move, causes drop in signal). Note: I am using hybrid crossfire, if that actually does anything (lol). I enabled it to test it, but have never turned it off. Therefore, available RAM is actually 1.5GB as I allotted 512mb to the IG. I only use 600-900MB of RAM though. Note: You can also set the screen MP starts on in the GUI config...I think its in the general part, once selected, at the bottom. I have mine set here to start on TV all the time. MP is maximized on screen two. Good luck to your endeavors Edit OH Yeah...I forgot --> I noticed choppy playback with Aero and Transparent glass enabled in Win7...I just figured my VC was not strong enough to process Aero/Glass/HD Content. Therefore, I have both disabled in Win7. Solas [/QUOTE]
