Im fairly sure I have the same (or close). 4850e & M3N78-EM.
Yea, it does vary a bit, but i rarely see it go that low. Overclocking to 2.9ghz I can pretty much achieve 24fps, but there are still some issues every now and then.

Just curious, as you have exactly the same hardware as me: Can you play the Artbeats and/or Killa-Sample using Advanced shaders (GLSL) without issues?

Which revision are you running? nvidia driver? xorg.conf? is xbmc the only client running on X or do you have gnome/compiz/whatever running in the background?

180.37, using motd2k's xorg.conf still i think. I've has this problem since late feb though, as far as I know I was the first one to report it. Its happened on all drivers/SVN's since then. Im running a basic Intrepid 8.10 install, so yes gnome/etc

Please try xbmc-vpdau SVN revision 18669.
You should find an additional option under Settings->Appearance->Screen called 'Safe fullscreen mode'. Select this mode, and restart XBMC.

Scratch that, changes have been reverted for unrelated reason.

I also tried 18670, and it appears to be a vast improvement. Only slight issues when playing 1080p. Little jutter once and awhile. I suspect this is because my im now seeing 25% cpu0 and 90-100% cpu1. On screen display shows vdpau accelerated, however it no longer says DVDPlayer(VDPAU)...Im guessing this is just a change though.
Any thoughts?
EDIT: Scratch that, when i upgraded to 185.13, the CPU usage dropped to vdpau levels (5% or so) and playback is perfect! Ive noticed when i start xbmc with -fs it goes full screen then goes windowed. When i start without it, it starts fullscreen and stays there. Hopefully this finds its way back into the svn.

Yes, it does show 1080i, but as far as i can tell 1080i in xbmc is 1920x1080@30hz, where even though it says 1080i, its at 60Hz which is the 1080p setting.
