my point is that you get GPU activity playing files with or without hardware acceleration - the GPU *is* active playing the video, its just not hardware accelerating the playback

i'll do a comparison in a minute once i finish watching MAR with a 1080P file and DXVA on and off - i may move it to another thread and link from here.
Great :D
I am eager to know wtf is going on. :toast:

not much there yet as i'm getting ready to go to work, but theres enough for you to tell yourself if you're getting DXVA or not, based on CPU usage and GPU activity. (i'd assume your GPU activity numbers would be higher than mine, considering mines a higher end card - i was wrong about it being higher than 20%, however)

ATI drivers definately need some work - but i'll cut them slack since the OS hasnt officially launched yet and *most* things work.

Nvidia drivers are no better. Gothic 1 and 2 as well as Messiah don't work. Crazy artifacts and hitching. Also the latest patch for Sacred 2 dosen't work but runs fine on Vista. I'm on Win 7 Pro RTM, btw.

I'm also not really liking the castrated superfetch. I don't see the need to move from Vista to 7 yet, tbh.
