I purchased 2 of the last gen apple tv's (the 160GB versions) and 2 PCIe BCM970012's. I know now that I should have ordered the 15's but I didn't know that at the time. However, everything I have heard and read is that the BCM970012 can handle 1080p with the apple tv.
I have the latest version of XBMC (Dharma b2) and the latest crystal driver 3.6.0
Every 1080p video I play has such high cpu usage that it makes it have jerky frames and lagging sound. Even 720p video uses about 80% of the cpu but is pretty smooth. I do have the crystal HD driver enabled and it is working (to a degree) because when I disable it, the 720p playback becomes tragic.
I am running atv flash 4.15 and XBMC on top of the atv OS.
Does anyone have any ideas? It is exactly the same on both apple tv's, is anyone able to play 1080p content on these? Even the 1080p Dark Knight BluRay rip is awful.
