[QUOTE="globaldonkey, post: 507227, member: 49844"] Watching 720p and even 1080p is not the same is watching interlaced content, particularly on a "heavy" gui like mp 1.0.1 and above. De-interlacing takes a lot more grunt, so I really do think it is your hardware, but happy to be proven wrong. MP has no preference for Nvidia or ATI. Conventional wisdom at the moment is that the 9400 is the minimum GPU for Nvidia, and the 4550 is the minimum GPU for ATI. I lean more to the 9500 / 4670 if you want a bit of "overhead". Using things like overclocking and efficient codecs like CoreAVC or MPC-HC with DXVA can produce acceptable results on lesser GPU's, but in IMHO it does become a more onerous process to get everything right. If you have bit of a read through that 1080i deinterlacing thread I posted earlier, you can get a better feel for some these discussions which I think I've basically summarised here. P.S. don't write off rewinding live TV. It's pretty cool ;) [/QUOTE]
