[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 782661, member: 82144"] Simply put: you're using a codec (FFDShow) that doesn't support hardware acceleration. Because of that, your new video card's capabilities are not being used. You need to do some experimentation to figure out which codec should be used. If you were on 7 then I'd say go for the Microsoft codec - simple and effective. In your current setup, try the "CyberLink Video/SP Decoder (PDVD7)".
