C2D & VDPAU still dropping frames - Inaba - 2010-05-06 I'm wondering why I am dropping frames on my HTPC with a C2D and Nvidia card with VDPAU active. My CPU usage on 1 core is around 100% and only 30% on the other core, so the system isn't maxed out - but why is it dropping frames on 1080p video? Is there any way to correct this, or is it just that the CPU is just plain too slow? I figured an E7200 would be adequate with an Nvidia 7150 card, but perhaps not? R26018 (9.11 stable) release of XBMC and Nvidia 190.53 drivers. - davilla - 2010-05-06 Inaba Wrote:I'm wondering why I am dropping frames on my HTPC with a C2D and Nvidia card with VDPAU active.

VDPAU does not work with Nvidia 7150 cards, 8xxx or 9xxx only. Type 'o' when playing back, if you see "ff-xxxx" as the codec, it's not using vdpau. - SlaveUnit - 2010-05-06 I dont think your video card supports VDPAU. Only some 8xxx series and up support it. - prae5 - 2010-05-06 Firstly, you wont be using vdpau with a 7150 - it doesn't support it, so you will be doing it all in software. For hardware acceleration you will need a 8400 or better. For software decoding the general rule of thumb was about a 3ghz processor was the recommended for flawless 1080p playback. Debug log will show more, but more than likely you will be pushing your cpu too much. - Inaba - 2010-05-06 Ack... I thought the 7xxx series supported it, too. Guess that explains it then! Thanks for the quick responses! I appreciate it. Guess it's time a new graphics card. |
