Well I am running build 23145 - DX on a Win XP 32 bit system with an Athlon 5000+ dual core, 8200 Nvidia GPU on 190 drivers, 4 Gb Ram.
Watching a 1080P MKV Blu-Ray Rip I am seeing a drop from 95% CPU usage avg with dropped frames down to 65% CPU usage and no dropped frames.
Quite an improvement for my HTPC, very happy!

I have a 3ghz p4 with 1g ram!
and the diference is giant! on GL i had to use external players a lot for many HD videos, now most works flawless direcly on XBMC!
its just FANTASTIC!
And one of the advantages is AERO still works with DX and nVidia cards. So, you could use an external player such as MPC HC without tearing..

Have anybody noticed that movies are alot darker (really low brightness/gamma) in the new builds?

So, I just tried out the latest builds - has anyone else got an issue with the menu bar show up on the top of the screen even in full screen mode?
Totally kills the experiance.
EDIT:
NEVERMIND
After playing with my video settings i forgot i had it run in a custom resolution. Everything is great.

yes... bright/contrast is ALL MESSED UP
there is no controls to fix it either... the NVidia controls do nothing to help.
I'm going back to GL until this is fixed.

It seems that the problem occurs in the GL-compiles aswell :/

It was the first thing I did.. I checked most of my movies with MPC-HC, MediaPortal and the colors are identical with XBMC DX builds... I think there is something wrong with your 0 - 255, 16 - 235 RGB Levels.. Perhaps you need to enable it from your GPU drivers..
