QUOTE(goldfries @ May 19 2015, 06:09 PM)  This one. HD and Full HD videos take quite some power from the system. Q8300 would work alright but the graphic card has to be one that can keep up, or help with the decoding. Just buy any RM 100 - 150 graphic card in the market to replace that and it should do the trick. I face the same thing before, once I start playing HD / FHD videos my system starts to be laggy. I had to upgrade the graphic card and it's fine again. Depends on the file is coded with acceleration compliance or not. If not, it still falls back to the CPU. I would suggest TS to chceck the processing first. Simply check task manager how many percentage the CPU is running at before deciding anything. And download the latest K-LITE Codecs.

QUOTE(goldfries @ May 20 2015, 07:57 AM) Yes. Going by TS's post (even before he mentioned 90% load) I reckon the processor is already at its limitation. Furthermore "lag" could be slight, could be severe.  Different people have different tolerance on lag. But I dont think his processor got problem. I use c2d pentium and duo core socket 775 never have problem when de oding hd movies. Only atom and that Amd E350 are hopeless.

QUOTE(goldfries @ May 20 2015, 08:18 AM) I was on that one.  After a while, the APU just lags. I had to add HD 3450, and much later HD 5450 because the APU couldn't take it. TS - try the settings here with MPC-HC http://blogo.biz/?p=63 and get the right codecs. Who knows a little tweaking is all you need, especially with the GPU acceleration if you haven't get it running. Same...I think I sold that....too slow...bought a mini itx socket 1150 with cheap Pentium duo core...can run fine. But because I need to pass Dollby Digital + from Netflix to my AVR, bought a 6450 card just for that. Otherwise, the internal Intel HD is just fine for decoding HD movies. This is now my HTPC rig.
