hopefully my 7300gt can support purevideo.

u can go and check Nvidia's website and see whether ur 7300GT supports PureVideo or not lo...

i dont know it can be use or not. but what i found in nvidia website that geforce 7 series support purevideo. hopefully it can be use.

Edited:

tested the movie

CPU : P4 2.8C @3.36Ghz
CPU Usage : 98%-100%
FPS : 20+-fps
GC : 7300GT
Decoder: not sure, not yet install the purevideo. maybe will help a bit after install.

just download and play the movie ... hehe

CPU : P4 3.0GHz @ 3.02GHz
CPU Usage : 53%-59%
FPS : dunno how to check
GC : as siggy
Decoder: dunno ...

hehe...just wanna have fun testing it only ...

looks like my Purevideo aint working since my cpu utilization is almost 100% all the time.and yeah its a little choppy.im guessing 10-15fps.

whoa thats not bad

if 53% to 59%, you're definitely using ffdshow libavcodec h264 decoder which is only single threaded
Yours definitely choking like mad

Since fylon has already tested, even with his 3.67Ghz Prescott, there are some scenes can drop till 18 fps range....so in the end, our machine still can't cope with this video playback. We need a 3.8Ghz-4Ghz P4 to test

I think non of us now are on the speed,but still ok if only some scenes drop to 18fps.THose CPU utilised 98-100% CPU usage are using 2 threads?Example the Media Player Classic?

nope, the decoder is the 1 using 2 threads...not the player

hmm...... its really cpu hungry movie. both threads are almost 100% when run. the lowest fps for mine is also something like 18+. i have try running at stock cpu and its chocking all the way......

Oh i see that means the decoder can utilize the HyperThreading.The decoder which utilize 2 threads seems like no better than the one using 1 thread only.Which one will giving better video play back?

still........fully utilize but not enough.

I think for those who are owning an X1950pro AGP card will be having benefits on playing this video. The card itself has the decoder of h.264 .

my superpi is........


P4 2.8C @ stock

Hahaha... like that also can enter top 20. Yeah

hi brothers of 478 owners,
wanna ask u all if i wan to try oc my com which type of ram, will u recommend me to buy? i thought of buying hyperX 1GB kit or the crucial ballistix 1GB kit. if there is any ram out there dat is suitable for my mobo to oc pls tell me wanna join the party of oc'ing 478 socket

Added on September 15, 2007, 9:36 pmbtw, how u all check the fps for the game that u ar playing? vy curious newbie here
coz nt sure my gc is gd o nt

Trust me, u go and test with ffdshow's h264 decoder and report back to me and see which 1 is better, you will never use it again for this kinda video

The advantage is lower CPU usage but the end results we still dunno. As pengster tested with PureVideo, his 2.7Ghz still 100% usage.

This video is full 1080p h264 and the settings and bitrate are high (High profile), that is why you need a very fast single core or a dual core to play it back smoothly at 23.976fps real time.

I added in the list already,what's the RAM timing you were using?

You can pick either 1 RAM to o/c. But this is still depends on the whole system configuration.Hyper-X chipset maybe vary need to check and see.Crucial one i not sure hwat type of chipset they are using.Regarding your GC,is consider good in AGP already,at least much bettere than my 9550.

I will try it out once i get my system run up again.Will let you know the result.

cn add me in top 20, my super pi
timing 3-3-3-8

Sure no problems

timing is 2.5-3-3-8
