By default Nvidia drops one frame every 5 minutes, Ati once every 7 minutes (they do 29.977 if i recall correctly from my Zacate) and Intel every 40 seconds (unless they improved something in their drivers recently, i have no clue about these improvements since my Intel GPU/mobo only arrives on Monday). These values are without any type of re-syncronization like ReClock & co.
Thanks Green Eyez. Intel, with newer drivers seems to be dropping 1-2 frames ever 7 or so minutes. The problem is it's quite visibly noticeable. I will have to see if the ATI, when similarly dropping frames is better.
With using XBMC sync the Intel never drops frames and all audio formats work fine, with the exception of True-HD.
The only reason I am getting the ATI is to experiment a bit with this new build. I have also noticed that FF/REW seek on the Intel is a little spotty and sometimes after movie playback the sync is messed up, so perhaps ATI will be better in that regard.
