So I finally started looking and playing a bit with the video settings in JRiver. Tried the RedOctober HQ setting and , yeah, it looks much better in my BenQ projector. My PC is:
Processor AMD A10-7800 Radeon R7, 12 Compute Cores 4C+8G, 3500 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
The issue is my CPU runs at about 32% 'ish and I get the occasional drop frame every few minutes or so, which is not horribly bad but annoying enough.
I guess my question is if getting a dedicated video card might help or would I need to get another motherboard/CPU? Any tips? I unchecked the interlacing on madVR and that seemed to help a bit.
