Hey guys, i'm back again with another question. So I reckon I need to do my upgrade. I was just wondering.. What kind of cpu hardware are we looking at here to have zero frame drops due to cpu load being too high?
I kinda fancy Intel.. So You think I could rock a new HTPC with a mere i3 using the on board graphics (dxva enabled) for my regular videos and having the CPU decode my anime stuff? Or do I need to go full head on this and invest in an i7 with ivy bridge?
I'm talking about 1080P 10 bit encoded stuff here. Wish I could get this all into one nifty small mini-itx box with remote support and external psu so i could run it as cool as possible. I know kind of wishful thinking.
