If the codec uses the CPU then there's no problem,what i want to know is that whether the GPU can decode SD H264 properly or not since last time if it's below than 576p it's going to be corrupted.

do you have VLC installed?VLC can use the GPU to decode too but it's not turned on by default.

Your card is a HD6850/HD6870?
Yeah,that's the option.It plays Yakumo fine?

OK,so that means the SD DXVA bug is no more.Good

If you have the time,can you please report back on the DXVA?

Your card is a HD5870 like what's stated in your sig?

i use MPC-HC too,but it's the one that comes with Klite Codec Pack as CCCP haven't been updated in a while.
If you can,please try that.

You can use HDMI to connect to three monitors,provided that you have an active DP to HDMI converter since HDMI needs a clock generator,unlike DP.As the HD5850 only ahs two clock generators for the third one you need an active DP adapter that has the clock generator built in.

The OCed card will downclock itself to match the non OCed card's speed.Just connect one CF connector.

What's the use of having the hardware on the GPU if the drivers aren't written to use it properly?I need my CPU cycles for other tasks while at the same time i want to play some videos.
Well,whatever.I'm not using an AMD GPU anymore.
Thanks guys for your help

1)Use one connector only,there's no need or benefit for two

2)Connect the monitor(s) to the primary card,usually the one at the top slot.though iinm there's no problem connecting it to the 2nd card.
Use 1 cable for 1 port for 1 monitor,there's no need for a y cable [such cables exist ah?]

Those figures are actually true,and your bills should increase by around RM3 per month [not really accurate this figure but you get the idea].Rather than a HD5770,why don't you consider a HD6850/GTX460 instead?On idle they use about the same amount of power while being priced around the same yet performs much better.

It's better than the reference cooler alright,it cools better and produces less noise

i saw a HD6950 going for RM1150 only in garage sales.

all in all,a disappointing series,the HD6970 is as fast as a GTX570 while being louder and more expensive.It also just uses a bit less power than a GTX570.With this results no wonder it's delayed

i didn't call it a failure of a series
i called it 'disappointing'.Those two words aren't the same.My expectations are high for these cards before this after seeing what the HD68xx are capable of.Once the HD6950 is sold at MSRP here then it's a good card [the only one it it's price bracket besides the going-to-be -phased-out HD5870],not now though s it costs as much as a GTX570.

BTW,the HD6950 is not as fast as a GTX480,the HD6970 is though.

reviews were done with a custom 10.11 driver given by AMD as 10.12 was only released on Monday.

are the driver's really unstable?Performance naturally will increase once better drivers are available but i'm not holding my breath for anything.

That's unlikely to happen unless Nvidia cuts the prices for GTX570 which is also unlikely to happen.The Cayman was supposed to be a 32nm part,had it been 32nm it would be faster than the GTX580 and use less power while being priced like right now.

EDIT
I forgot that the HD6950's MSRP is 300USD only,so it's relatively cheap and fast.Quite worth it imo unlike the HD6970 which equals the GTX570 but costs more.HD6950 is only 10%+- slower than a HD6970
Now waiting for the HD6950's price to drop back to MSRP

The average fps is high,veru but the minimum fps is really low.
Not enough power=restart/bsod

GTX570,priced similarly to a HD6950 but performs similarly compared to HD6970
