Dear Community,

I'm new to XBMC and have a Problem with my Lenovo Q180 with Windows 8.

I'm using the Q180 with 4 GB Memory and a 60GB SSD.
The VGA Card is a ATI Radeon 6450 HD.

Here is the Problem:

The XBMC GUI is extremely slow.
Under Settings->Systeminfo->Grafics there are 2,3 FPS per Second...
Watching a movie or tv show is no problem. They are running smoth.

Any ideas?

It's likely a graphics driver problem, are you by any chance on AMD Beta v13 drivers?

I'm on the ATI 13.1 Drivers ATM

Does anyone know a working driver I can try?

Try v12.10, avoid v12.9 as that also caused issues

Btw, I don't have AMD so I'm just going by reports I've seen on here.

I was experiencing a very similar issue, and downloading and installing the 13.1 Catalyst Control Center fixed the
problem.

I am also experiencing this issue on my lenovo, xbmc performance in gui does not get above 12fps. Tried everything the only way i can get it at 60fps is to uninstall all AMD install and use generic windows driver for the card. But then I don't get HDMI audio with dts etc. Tried older drivers too still the same

Any advice?

Sorted it. Uninstalled always back to basic windows driver, uninstalled and deleted it, then installed 12.10 all works OK. 13.1 must be broken. Playing great now Smile

I've got a similar issue, I upgraded from an E-350 to a G860 and while I was at it switched over from Eden to Frodo. The menus are actually slower than they were with the E350!

I'm running a 6450 as well so I'll try rolling back the drivers to 12.10 and see if that fixes it.

12.10 seemed to fix my slowdowns! thanks

12.10 fixed the Problem for my too Smile

Thanks for your help.
