[QUOTE="xppx, post: 499159, member: 55884"] Thanks for your detailed feedback. My HTPC is able to run 1080p Bluray rips with 5-40% CPU consumption. The consumption actually depends on the degree of details/action displaying at the moment of capture and these figures are relative to the strength of the CPU. I'm using an AMD Brisbane processor which is a lot less powerfull than the Intel X9100. I actually used a combination of CoreAVC and PowerDVD (DXVA enabled) before I switched to CUDA. And if I wouldn't have needed subtitles I would have sticked to the PowerDVD drivers. DXVA is (and still is) better than a software translation of course. But now with the new CUDA architecture you can have the benefit of both. The best codec in combination with the strength of the GPU hardware, subtitles or not. (and on XP!) The next generation of PowerDVD drivers will probably feature CUDA as well, and ATI will need to follow the market, so it is just a matter of time when this architecture supersudes the previous one (DXVA). Again, that doesn't mean that DXVA is not doing its job, it just means that we are progressing to another standard. [/QUOTE]
