This results in high CPU usage and often (though not always) poor responsiveness and instability within MediaPortal. I assume this is due to the unavailability of DirectX hardware acceleration on secondary monitors? However, I wonder, if I were to purchase a reasonably cheap PCI graphics card and attach my telelvision to that instead, so only MediaPortal gets the resources of that card, would this yield a significant improvement? Or would acceleration be still unavailable because the TV would remain a secondary monitor?</p></blockquote><p></p>
