    Yes, but more importantly how much of your system resources are taken up when the system is running, and how much longer does it take your system to boot. I have an Athlon64 4800+ clocked at 2.6GHz (I know it can do more, but this is just for "normal" use) and I am finding it takes an *age*...

    Video Problem - please help

    Hi, I hope someone can help - this is driving me mad. For some strange reason, my PC has lost the ability to play movies properly. I don't know what I have done (or when?) to screw it up, but here's the symptoms: 1. Window Media player won't play DVD's at all. No sound, no picture. The...

    GeForce 6 series video processor OFFICIAL THREAD

    I have followed this debate with interest from the beginning and just waded through the reams of latest information. The bottom line is I am completely shocked at nVidia's actions. My considered opinion before was that WMV decode probably only "partially borked", and that nVidia were...

    I can't buy that. I am not saying they are not waiting for some stuff from MS - maybe they are. But to try to pin the whole problem on MS? Come off it. And apart from anything else, what does that mean for DIVX HD material - which doesn't work either? Or for HD material in other media...

    Humey, we know *exactly* what fastwrites does. Its not even open to debate. This is what it does: With Fastwrites ON, your CPU can write data directly into your video card's memory. With Fastwrites OFF, it can't: it has to write data to system memory first, and then it can be copied from...

    New Video Card for my New MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum

    Personally I would NOT go for a 6800 with an nforce3 motherboard. Whereas you will probably be able to run it OK, it won't overclock much (I don't know why, but there seems to be some kind of incompatibility between (nvidia's!) 6800 and (nvidia's!) nforce3 chipsets. They just don't overclock...

    I would think the "reason" is because if they try to pass any of the decoding to the GPU, the whole thing falls over with its legs in the air? So they had to disable it. The way I read it is that the video decoding hardware is partially broken. Possibly completely broken, but I dounbt that...

    Again, I suspect that could be one for the lawyers to argue over. Here in the UK, the sense of *reasonableness* applies. Is it *reasonable* that they should describe a 1% reduction in CPU as being hardware acceleration? No, I would say it isn't. Any judge would spot a mile off that its not...

    GeForce 6800 Ultra freezing!! *resolved*

    Its not a stupid question and I bet half the people here don't know ;-) Enabling it allows your CPU to write directly to your video card's memory. If it is disabled, your CPU needs to write data to main memory first, and then it can be copied into the card's memory from there. Everyone...

    6800gt for watching DVDs ?

    Jbass, I can state with 100% certainty that there is *nothing wrong* with the 6800 series for watching DVD's. The video decoder problem *does not* affect mpeg2 playback. Anyone with a problem playing back DVD's (whether it be windowed or full screen or whatever) either had a broken card or...

    Well possibly. On the other hand, I am sure they are being *extremely* careful with their words as they do not want to say anything that's likely to compromise their legal position. You can imagine how their being straight with us could end up costing them money. On the other hand you could...

    GeForce 6800 Ultra freezing!! *resolved*

    34 Amps enough for you? I do get them in rthdribl. Perhaps not as often, not sure. I think we can safely rule out heat as the cause. Here's why: With my old rig - and my XP2500 at 2500MHz chucking out a load of heat, my GF6800GT idled at around 50c and peaked at high 60's. Not bad. But...

    Thanks guys, I forgot to say, yes I tried AGP voltage. I run 1.6v anyway, but I did try 1.7v. Didn't try 1.5v - didn't see the point. I ran 1.6v old my old board. I have always run 1.6v AGP. With respect to the power issue, well I have a OCZ Powerstream 520w PSU with the card on one of...

    We really haven't got any choice, have we. They have us by the short and curlies. If they can get the hardware at least partially working then great. But when???? And if they don't get it partially working, then what? What's the realistic chances of a class action lawsuit? Well bearing...

    GeForce 6800 Ultra freezing!! *resolved*

    Well I don't know about the OP, but this problem is certainly NOT "resolved" for me. I bought a BFG GF6800GT some while back, fitted a VGA Silencer and did the 1.4v bios mod. I found it was a truly excellent overclocker, reaching 453MHz stable (but with the occassional artefact) and - more...

    1. No dropped frames. So what. I have no dropped frames. 2. Let me quote you from earlier: "UPDATE: i tested with the nVidia temp monitor open on the side, and let the video loop several (like 6) times, and the GPU temp steadily rose up from 60C to 63C, after i shut Windows Media Player...

    No. When I test it on HD Mpeg2 material (1080i with 18MB/s bit rate) the CPU usage is around 20% and the GPU temp rises 8 or 9C. Chip

    I don't agree. If you check the CPU utilization when playing in a window of different sizes, or playing full screen, it makes very little - if any - difference. All the hard CPU work is done on the decoding. The scaling part is very CPU light. Chip

    Has anyone noticed: the petition has disappeared! I think we were up to around 1000 signatures when it vanished. I really do hope this isn't as a result of any pressure on the petition owner from outside influences, e.g. nVidia lawyers! Does anyone know who started the petition, so I...

    Why do we keep hearing this. Surely it has to be crap. I mean, how can an update to WMP10 improve CPU usage when playing a video in Nero Showtime or nVidia nStantmedia, or nDVD or whatever? It doesn't make any sense at all. Now, if they mean they are waiting for a new codec then that...

    I don't think your video processor is working. That's because I don't believe *anyone* with a 6800 right now has a working video processor, because I think they all have a hardware flaw. So why are you getting better results than others here? Well there are a number of things that seem to...

    Great post Atif. I would simply like to add this: If the video decoding hardware on 6800 was working perfectly, wouldn't nVidia just want to stop all this rumour and bad publicity? Wouldn't they come straight out and issue a statement to that effect? Well I would. I think that they...

    I don't buy this excuse for 1 minute. If we are waiting for a WMP10 update, then why does it also not work in Nero Showcase, DIVX Player, or any other media player you care to test. The only thing that could possibly affect this is the CODEC. If they mean you need a new CODEC, then...

    Benedikt, I think your analysis is bang on the money. I would say the most likely outcome is scenario 2, only minus the apology. I suspect nvidia will say nothing about this publicly and hope that marketing hype about newer cards will drown out any "noise" about this embarrassing little video...

    Please don't misunderstand me - I do not think that video acceleration is working on my GPU. Merely that enabling fast writes (somehow) enables your CPU to deal with it better. If you remember that fast writes is supposed to enable your CPU to write directly to the graphics card memory -...

    Fair enough. I didn't post a screenshot with media player because I don't think the video overlay comes through with screen gabs, does it? So I didn't see the point. Anyway, I will do it now... wait a minute. OK, here you go: 2 screen shots, 1 around 5 seconds from the end, and when it...

    I have just read through this thread but forgive me if I have missed what I am about to say: I have two points to make: 1. AMD XP users: I think you will find that the video playback becomes *a lot* better if you enable fast writes. I think the CPU utilization drops a fair bit too. With...
