Has anyone tried the new ivy bridge gpus with xbmc's dxva2? If so, does it work properly or does it have to same issues as the hd 2000/3000 with artifacts?

With DXVA2 enabled, it cause pixelation with video in this post- brief green pixelation during resume.

The nvidia cards work best with dvdplayer's dxva2.

There's always something, no matter what you choose, that keeps it from being perfect.But it playback perfect with TMT5 as an external player though....

It is about on par with the discrete ati cards and fusion apus i've tried. However, it still artifacts with dvdplayer's dxva2, oddly enough in the EXACT same places as the ati hardware, and in the EXACT same manner: green pixelation, green screen. This does not happen using dsplayer with lav native dxva with ati hardware or the HD 4000, at least in the testing I've done so far. The files I'm playing back are untouched bluray streams muxed into mkvs. For anyone considering the HD 4000 if and when it is released with a dual core ivy bridge chip, it looks promising thus far. I'll be doing more comprehensive testing and I'll share my findings.
For anyone wondering, here's hardware I've used: ATI A3400, A3870, HD6570, HD6450, Intel Core i3 2105, 2120, Core i5 2500K, 3570K, Nvidia GT430, GT520.

I rebuilt my HTPC with an i3 2100 and noticed issues with DXVA enabled. Was wondering if I should bother swapping out with a 4000 level GPU, but it appears Ivy Bridge suffers the same fate.

Oh well. Software rendering it is, as many have pointed out an i3 can handle the load.
