Its just an underpowered card. You could try overclocking the GPU core and your system RAM, helped for me but well... standard disclaimer applies!

Haggy Wrote:Ok, i looked a bit deeper into the settings. It seems like using the "(Fullscreen)" resolution, i get exactly half the fps that is shown, so it's 25fps for the 50Hz mode. Using f.e. the "1920x1080@50Hz" resolution however i get 50fps w/o a problem. Same for "1920x1080@24Hz" and so on... those resolutions are available since i modelined them into my xorg.conf. Nevertheless i cannot remember getting even 25fps in fullscreen mode with the older drivers. Why it's exactly half the refresh rate i don't know...same for my "1920x1080@60Hz" modeline, which renders at 30fps. Playing a movie switches to the desired refresh rate and stays stable for most of the files, though for some 1080p movies it can't keep up the framerate sometimes.

Haggy Wrote:Well... the GUI chopiness is indeed gone. I now have my resolution set to 1920x1080 (fullscreen), and i am starting xbmc with -fs --standalone. However overall playback performance did not improve. I suppose this patch addressed only the GUI. Casino Royale is still stuttering during the intro and at some busy scenes. I blame my crappy 8200/8300 for that though.

In Ubuntu, you can do that in /etc/init.d/cpufreqtools
Set the min_freq to 1800000

Haggy Wrote:You have to force VDPAU in settings. it will gracefully drop back to GLSL if it's not supported. Auto does not enable VDPAU even if available. Also make sure you have 512MB assigned to the IGP and you are running dualchannel.

pat1975 Wrote:/etc/init.d/cpufrequtils is there, if you install package cpufrequtils with apt-get.
