[QUOTE="globaldonkey, post: 699888, member: 49844"] Yes that is correct. If you want to stress test a GPU from a HTPC / video playback perspective, run 1080i H.264 through it. Everybody talks about 1080p playback, but most live HDTV is 1080i, either MPEG 2 or H.264. It is the de-interlacing (plus other post processing like edge smoothing and noise reduction) that will stress the GPU. [USER=56236]Jelmo[/USER], did you try using a DXVA codec? I saw some stuff on Doom 9 that DXVA on Core i3 was a problem. [/QUOTE]
