Right, found it now! :)

I can raise the FPS to 50, and the "!"-meter claims that I have around 50 FPS, and scrolling is a little bit smoother, but it is still not as smooth as when I have TV activated. Scrolling is quite OK, the big difference is when I select a menu item and the menu is "zoomed out" so to say, then, even with your new fix, the FPS drops for a second to around 25-30 while the zoom out-effect is done. With TV activated, the zoom out is much smoother, and it stays around 50 FPS,...

    Searched for a thread that may be suitable to post this connected problem.

    Latest SVN build/s 16750 and 16748

    Tested VISTA 32, W2ksp4

    Problem is I can't raise the GUI FPS above 30FPS (even with setting as high as 100) same for vanilla MP and TVe3 MP.

    The knock on problem is if a video codec is outputing above 30FPS (ie 50FPS MPEG or TS files with Cyberlink,NV,MS,ATI codecs) then the whole VIDEO or GUI/VIDEO crawls to zero/ish FPS.

    Readings are from "!" makes no difference if I choose EVR (VISTA) or Exclusive VRM9 or VRM9 (VISTA and w2k)

    If I choose a codec like MPA/MPV which ouputs at 25FPS (for 50FPS material) then there are no problems.

    Also if I check MP in a personal favorite RC1 SVN 15757 then this isn't a problem at all, infact MP GUI has become more unrepsonsive as we have moved through RC2/3 and to RC final

    I will post some logs after some specific codec testing.

    Logs . MPA/MPV codec output 25FPS . No GUI/VIDEO problems as desired FPS below the 30FPS MAX that is being forced by the MP code.
