I need some help getting my HD-DVD video running smoother. I would think my CPU should at least just be able to run it at least. But maybe it's just not quite good enough?
It's actually always done this even with my one windows HD media I bought a while back. And now with HD-DVD. It's just not quite enough processing power I guess. Maybe someone can help me tweak something or do something that will help? I dont think I can be all that far from being able to run it smooth. But how it is now I can't really watch it like this at all and enjoy it.
I have 3.4 Prescott
2 gigs ram
Geforce 6800 GT
My processor is running at 94 - 97%. Shouldn't it be smooth is it's not 100%? Is it maybe my video card? Should I try to overclock my card maybe?
Edit: And hyperthreading is on if that matters
Edit 2: got it figured out. My Prescott was just on the edge of handling HD but was getting to hot when it played so it would downclock a tad and then not be able to run smooth. I crancked the fans up. It's loud but oh well it works. Darn Precotts for being so hot
Thanks for all the help everyone
