Leadtek 1000T : High CPU spikes (driver related) (1 Viewer)

[bigj]

Can anyone else with a Leadtek1000T confirm if they are seeing CPU spikes when viewing TV?

I'm using RC4+SVN from 3-06-2006.
And using drivers 3218 or new beta 3219 from here:
http://tw1965.myweb.hinet.net/MCE2005.htm

View some TV, run a CPU usage monitor.
(e.g. process explorer from sysinternals: http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/ProcessExplorer.html)

I found the best driver for me to use was 3214 from Leadtek.
The newer 3218 gave me jerky TV viewing.
I just ran Media Portal in a window. My CPU usage starts off a bit eractic but within a minute or so it settles between 40+ to 50+.
I just put a second DVT1000 card in so not sure if this makes it worse.

I'm using WinDVD7 Codecs for TV.

Nforce3 MB, Sempron 2800+ CPU, 1 Gig Ram

Thanks for the feedback rocky500.
I also run two tuners - T1000 + compro300T.
But I found I had to move up from the 3214 for this to work...
I'll try to revert to 3214 and see how it is now.
BigJ.

I Never tried the SVN's with my DTV1000T, but used to get High spikes never ran all that well, I Now have TV server on an old Intel 1.8C 500 megs of ram..... with a 1000T and a 1000S. And Just run a front end that is a AMD front end in my Sig
All runs fine now, but channel change is a bit slow.
