if DVX2 is enabled, and your using windows7, and it still is choppy,
try to go in your BIOS and set GPU memory to 512MB instead of AUTO!!! |

^^ No. On the Revo boxes you can dedicate 512 to video RAM, maybe there's a spot in the Zbox BIOS to do the same.
Edit: He beat me to it

After some research I found this
iGPU Frame Detect -- Disabled | Auto Auto adjust iGPU Frame Size iGPU Frame Size -- 32MB | 64MB | 128MB | 256MB | 512MB | Disabled This option lets you decide how much RAM to allocate to the onboard video. But I can't find any settings in the bios... the bios isn't the greatest... anyone have this that could lead me to this setting Also is there anything else I have to do to make sure it is it is using hardware rendering other then the xbmc setting you posted ? Thank you |

just got a 1080 p rip of the cable guy. plays fine. I think the big files on planet earth just make it a little choppy but it is watchable. maybe its because I'm using DVI and analog audio. Ill post if HDMI makes a difference.
thanks for the help |

It won't make a difference. I'm on a 12 year old PC with an 8400gs video card doing DVI to an HDMI cord and it plays the planet earth 1080p high bitrate stuff easily. |

Out of curiosity I've seen a few people suggesting to increase the iGPU ram allocation but in all fairness does this really help ?
Typically gpu-z will show only a small amount of RAM in usage. I guess it'll only help if you're running windows aero or for playing games but for xbmc 128meg ought to be fine right ? |

I'd say it makes a difference, but I don't have any way to test it out. |
