[QUOTE="Zarch, post: 204266, member: 54195"] While i can agree that MP is "bigger" than MPC, 15% of core2duo cpu is a hell of lot more power.... surely not!! And how does your thinking relate to the GPU usage? Playing back the 1080p file through MP uses around 50% less GPU power than through MPC. I'm still of the opinion that theres something in the way MP calls the graphics card (directshow?) as apposed to the way MPC or GraphEdit does. But i need someone who knows more about MediaPortal to confirm this!! Stats: .........MediaPortal....MediaPlayer Classic CPU.............70%...............55% GPU.............30%...............65% It makes sense doesn't it? If the GPU is higher, then the CPU will be lower because the graphics card is taking the load? (ie in the MediaPlayer Classic example) And if the GPU is not taking some of the load then the CPU has to take over (ie MediaPortal example). This is the SAME file using the SAME codecs with only the "player" being different. If anyone can shed any light on this or any settings i might have missed then please let me know, it would be very much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
