I had a 2100 and it worked great but it took me a while to figure out how to get it to work with DXVA.
i was using a nightly 10.1 build and DXVA would work BUT i was getting the sandy bridge 24P dropped frame (stutter) every 40 or so seconds. to prevent this i would just set "sync playback to Display" with this set videos would always play back at 24P. now i know the videophiles here are going to be like, well blu ray playback is really 23.976 fps yes i know that BUT if i have never noticed any frame rate dropping or hitching with this setting.
as for the post on the first page about movies with a higher bit rate of 25mbps not playing good is false.
i have a few MKV, H.264 1080 videos running a bit rate around 35+ average Mbps. (saving private ryan, and transformers movies) never had a issue with them. they would even play without DXVA on. but cpu usage would ht around 80% usage (Hyperthreading off)
now i sold my HTPC to a bud so i can't test these settings on the Eden beta 2 build (beta 2 just was put out today for windows) but im sure it will work fine
