Hi,
I've just done a fresh install of my HTPC, I used to have performance problems with H.264 content so today I put in a GF8660GT. HDTV broadcasts and HD DVD playback is now fine but I'm still experiencing problems with .MKV files encoded using x264.
CPU utilization is now down to approx 30% but there's still a bit of stuttering when it comes to the picture. Some movies are worse than others.
The problem occurs both in MP as well as in WMP. The following software is installed except MP:
- PowerDVD 7 rev 2911
- Latest PureVideo codec from Nvidia
- Latest Haali mediasplitter from http://haali.cs.msu.ru/mkv/
Is there something I need to do? Some magical setting? It's pretty strange since CPU util is not at 100%.
Is the CPU getting to old? AMD64 3200+.
Any input is much appreciated!
Cheers,
Martin
