[QUOTE="DragonQ, post: 846132, member: 115209"] Has anyone actually tried LAV DXVA2 using MediaPortal? For me, HD channels don't work. See this list of power usage results I get with a GT 430 + Intel Celeron G530 when watching UK TV: CUVID, 576i25: 61 W (perfect playback) CUVID, 1080i25: 65 W (perfect playback) DXVA2 Native, 576i25: 48 W (playback is fine but deinterlacing is poor) DXVA2 Native, 1080i25: 54 W (playback is broken, picture freezes then catches up every second or two) I also tried using nVidia Inspector to put my GT 430 into the P8 power state (designed for video) using when using CUVID. However, it's obvious that the P8 state of this card isn't anywhere near powerful enough for HD. So, for a GT 430, it seems there's no way to reduce power usage when using CUVID. DXVA2 would be nice as it's clear it does use less power, but since it's broken (for me) there isn't much of a choice! [/QUOTE]
