Hi,
I'm running an oldish HTPC with Libreelec and Kodi, only viewing 1080 content at the moment as my projector doesn't support 4k. I still watch old DVD's and the upscaling feature in Kodi is great for improving image quality. I have noticed however that playback is smooth with the default bilinear upscaling but it goes choppy and stutters when using the more demanding upscaling methods.
My question is this, is the upscaling performed mainly by the CPU or the GPU? If the GPU then I may look to pop in a GT1030 card as I'm using old intel G45 onboard HD at present.
