All,
I have an i3-540 and using the default player in XBMC.
When my 1080p MKVs start playing, there is slight horizontal tearing (very noticeable on WB's opening logos).
I have DXVA2 acceleration DISABLED, as it causes green blotches and makes the video not even watchable.
Thoughts?
Oh - everything is HDMI to my projector.

Settings > System > Video Output, Vertical Blank Sync

Yep, I did. Still happens. Just tried with it disabled and it is still apparent.
Also, thinking about picking up a GeForce GT 430. Would this solve the problem?

Have you checked in your GPU control panel how its set you normally have an option that allows it to be application controled or set to always enabled
Its a good idea to restart xbmc when you change from within xbmc

Aero is enabled... I went ahead and bought the GT 430. I always heard the i3-540 had enough "umph" to process 1080p MKVs... guess not.

All,
Just installed a GT 430 and have enabled vertical sync and DXVA2, and STILL get the tearing. Thoughts?

Have you tried toggling the 'fake fullscreen' option under the video settings?

So was you using a full screen window instead of true full screen ?

I have tearing issues, using the fake full screen makes the issue worse. Why does Aero need to be enabled? I have it disabled wouldn't that be better?
