Best card for video decoding

3GB of RAM with an SSD, and mostly dust-free internals. :-) Just tried a choppy 1080 video in VLC while watching CCC. CPU activity goes to 90+%. This would seem to confirm the GPU is the bottleneck, but I'm at a loss as to why if it should have enough horsepower. Any thoughts?

Best card for video decoding

I usually use VLC, but I also try MPC when a particular video acts up. They both seem to perform the same with a given video. Any better ones out there?

Best card for video decoding

Most HD videos are okay, but some have issues. It seems to be getting more common, so I figured maybe I was underpowered. I'm open to any price range at this point. Exploring all the options. :-)

Best card for video decoding

Hello, I've had a Radeon HD 5570 for a few years, and am finding more and more lately that I can't play HD content (720 or 1080) without choppiness. I assume it's because the card doesn't do newer codecs and hardware. Hoping for some advice on what I should replace it with. I don't play...

Power supply dying?

No and no. It just comes on for a second (or less), then turns off. I have several hard drives in the system, so perhaps it's the draw of the initial spin-up. But everything has worked fine for the 2.5 years I've had the PS.

Power supply dying?

Hello, I'm trying to determine if my power supply is dying, or if maybe it's a motherboard issue. I returned home from a vacation yesterday, which meant my computer was off for a few days (typically it runs 24/7). When I went to turn it on, it came on for a second and turned off. This happened...

Radeon 5770 to Samsung TV: Choppy

Both monitor and TV are connected to the 5770. No on-board GPU. I've been using VLC but it looks like Media Player has the same issue.

Radeon 5770 to Samsung TV: Choppy

Hello, I just installed a Radeon 5770 on my Win7 box so that I could connect the HDMI port to my TV and watch videos. I'm finding the video to be a bit choppy. It's noticeable when there's a lot of movement on the screen, such as the camera moving. This doesn't occur when I play said...

[Retired] The LCD Thread

Hello, What are the recommendations for non-widescreen 21" LCDs these days? Seems everything is moving towards widescreen -- I couldn't even find a 21" non-widescreen on Samsung's site. :( Thanks!

*** Unofficial ASUS P6T / Deluxe / v2 Thread ***

Hello, I'm looking at getting a P6T and Radeon HD 4770. I need to utilize both legacy PCI slots though. Just want to make sure I'll be able to use the 4770 in, say, slot 2 so that the legacy PCI slots are available?
