2600 pro not cutting it?
I got a visontek radeon HD 2600 pro after reading favorable comments about it here, for my 720 P HDTV. It has 512 MB of RAM.
I doesn't really give smooth playback of HD content through Sage. There is a lot of jerky-ness in fast action, and blockiness here and there. This is in an XP system, 3800 Athlon, 1 GB RAM. GPU reports that it's running at 94% when HD is playing. I can still take the video card back 'till next week. Is the 2600 the problem, or do I need more RAM or something? Thanks! |

It sounds like hardware acceleration (dxva) is not enabled. What decoder are you using?

Yeah, this should work fine. I have one and the avivo codec works well, and even powerdvd 7 works fine when the proper options are selected. This is a great card to use with Sage.

I have no problems either. After checking hardware acceleration, try the tweaks that are posted on the AVS forum.

In Sage setup, I select "ATI MPEG decoder", which I suppose is the decoder that came with the card. I also have "enable 3D accel" checked. I'll fiddle around with it some more. Reassuring to hear that it can be done with this card. |
