Intel Graphics hardware acceleration

<< < (4/4)

Blaine78:
as someone mentioned before about getting a graphics card, I don't have the option to, as i have a small itx style computer that doesn't allow add ons, plus an extra card is making more heat and using more power and seesm to defeat the purpose of a small energy efficient computer.  without hardware acceleration, CPU is running at near 70-80% at all times. if there is a short burst of activity from other programs, there is small stutter.

With Sandy Bridge, the Intel drivers do not work well for hardware acceleration.  There is distortion on many movies.  Hopefully Intel will address this in their drivers at some point.  It's not a big loss, since there are no real power savings (I measured at the wall with a 2500k) when using DXVA vs CPU decoding.

Hey Matt will this now work with IvyBridge cpus??

I had no issues with an i5 Ivy and the integrated HD4000. I never played a real bluray (a disc) but I did have a BDMV folder at one point which played fine.
