I tried the latest version of MPlayer with VDPAU and with xorg.conf "Composite" "Disable" it runs flawless everything I've thrown at it - 1080p stuff of course.

I am on the same motherboard. I got it for the 8300 which should be fully capable of 1080p over hdmi, even the killa sample.
Fortunately (and I really, really didn't realize it at the time...) I accidentally built my computer fast enough to decode 1080p in glsl/software... only drop about 70 frames on the killa sample... other 1080p sources work great.
Still, it kills the cpu and once I have other software running on this thing all the time (as I fully plan to do) there's definitely going to be an issue. CPU at 5%-25% while watching 1080p should be fully possible... It seems to be improving with each driver release but maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part...
