Hardware Accelerated Video Decoding Intel i5 680 - Bobokatt07 - 2011-10-16 Good day all, I currently built a small factor system running an Intel i5 680 ES cpu. I am running it on a Windows 7 64 bit box. I tried many times to get the system to install the Live distro with no luck. In my bedroom I have an Acer Revo 3600 which works flawlessly with the Live distro. My question regards the i5 680 Intel graphics. Since I built it, I have enabled the DXVA2 option for XBMC since I am using the built in graphics -- no dedicated video card. At times I get weird deterioration and pixilation. If I disable DXVA2 in XBMCt, then everything runs perfect. Thus my question really is a moot one, but is there any difference in quality whether I use DXVA2 or not? I am missing anything if I can afford to not to enable the GPU acceleration? I've run the i5 680 at 4.5 GHz since I bought it from a friend for like $80. That CPU is just insane. I do have 8 GB of DDR3 in the box, but of course I doubt XBMC even notices anything over the 32 bit limit so that is a moot point. It never skips a beat whether the DXVA2 is enabled or not, no stuttering etc. Everything is connected via Giga network. It's running on a very quiet water cooling system, temps are low, I've stressed it for over 24 hours without a crash. Is there really any need for Hardware decoding at this point? - bluray - 2011-10-16 Bobokatt07 Wrote:If I disable DXVA2 in XBMCt, then everything runs perfect.
