[QUOTE="velis, post: 585727, member: 96429"] I just switched from 8800GTS to HD5870. While my Win7 WMP 12 (probably using MS DTV-DVD codec) was consistently crashing my 8800GTS drivers, it plays fine on my new 5870. These are the same x264 transcodes that I make myself (camera codecs are just plain greedy bandwidth-wize). Note that HW acceleration IS confirmed to be used. CPU usage around 5% with WMP and around 30% with MPC-HC using ffdshow. General clip info: 1280x720 30FPS Level 4.1, high profile predictor frames 6, b-frames 16 multi hexagon 32 pixels range Unfortunately, I deleted my test Underworld BD transcode the other day so I can't say how it handles full HD, but I'm guessing it will do that as well. So 5000 series Radeons seem to finally do things nicely. There's still the simple matter of having to buy at least a mid range card if you want good acceleration. Entry level models just don't cut the mustard as I [URL="http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3738"]hear[/URL]. [/QUOTE]
