Guys before everyone gets too excited...
I just ran the Killa' Sample on the system here I recently built. This TV does full screen at 1280X720 @50hz so I guess 720P? Vert synch is always on. I know I ran it at higher rez on my panel testing this and didn't see issues then either. Anyway, Killa plays SMOOTH here. Both CPU are EVEN and don't go over 80% through the playback. I see 10 frames dropped on the first playback, set the system for 1080i (saw no difference in apparent rez) and dropped 14 - all at the start.
Even if the rez is making a difference it still has to decode this nasty file. I do not believe that this system is displaying the same quirks that everyone here seems to be seeing. One thing about this system - I never removed PulseAudio maybe that makes a difference? So, before everyone goes digging into kernel internals and freaking out maybe there's some simple difference here? I get MY new board tomorrow, figure a few days before it's installed, and then we'll see what it does on my system - I'll be upgrading to 8.1.
Also, forget trying to play Killa' with an AMD. I have yet to hear of anyone managing it. Forget trying to compare AMD clocks with Intel clocks, the C2D is simply that much better for this app.
