Check out the last couple posts in this thread- Intel HD Graphics 3000, 24p issues
Check out this page and they discussed HD2000- Macroblocking with new sandy bridge build, dxva2 enabled

Quote:In our Sandy Bridge review I pointed out that Intel was unfortunately very conservative in one area of the platform: its chipset. Although the 6-series chipset finally brought native 6Gbps SATA to Intel platforms it failed to fix issues with 23.976 fps video playback.

it does look like eternity
sandy bridge has been out for quite awhile now!

Is there any reason to go for more GPU power as an A6-3500 can provide? I'm currently split between going with an A6-3500 or taking an Intel CPU with a lower TDP (f.e. a 630T) and a GPU like a 6450, 6570 or even an 7750. Budget isn't much of an issue, the TV I'm going to buy will probably cost between 2-3k so I want the best possible experience I can get.

reason is, A6-3500 is tested and re-tested and re-re-tested!!
get it! its the best,!

It'll get the job done a lot faster.....
You don't need a discrete GPU either. You can opt for this "Intel Core i3-2125 Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz" powerful and yet low TDP Intel CPU......with Intel 3.3GHz cores and HD3000, it should be able to playback blu-ray in 1080P and bitstreaming HD audio........

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Everything looks good.... you will enjoy the performance of the A6-3500
Looks solid! All I know the Asrock remote has bad range!

maybe u can send them a question too about it!
Today got the confirmation from Zotac Support that ID82 supports Bitstream HD Audio through HDMI output.
