I decided to look one last time before taking you up on your offer and found a couple of downloads. Weird... Thanks anyways.
I'm really hoping to get acceleration working on this card but it seems that most people with AGP have the same problem.
Ok so I have Vista installed and am deaing with all the associated crap. I still dont have hardware acceleration but this doesnt supprise hearing that since the 8.6 hotfix release something has been broken in this respect. So my delema now is where can I download the 8.5 VISTA hotfix drivers?
I...
Well I give up on getting hardware acceleration in XP. I tried pretty much every software/splitter/decoder combo out there and no luck. Some work better then others but without acceleration there is lag and audio sync issues so that's enough of that. I do prefer matroskasplitter for ease of use...
Cool I'll look into it here soon. I just about exhausted my options finding a workaround in XP for hardware acceleration. Plus it's getting old quick...soo many options/software combos, but no luck with any of them.
VISTA...can't avoid it forever I guess.
It works allot better but I get no sound and it's not always smooth. I'm not done trying new settings and software yet. Got a good lead so I'll post back.
I'll remove every bit of whatever players & codec packs are on my computer and go with a fresh start using MPC HC again. It's said that various codec packs can interfere with acceleration so I give it a shot. I'll give coreAVC a shot too and see what happens :toast:
Are you using the hotfix drivers? I get the same if I use the regular drivers.

@innocent: Will using Vista lite get rid of the 15.5 GB warning that is preventing me from installing it? If so I'll...
What would that be?
I just tried mediaplayer classic home theater which worked a little better but no acceleration and unwatchable still. There seems to be various decoders that when used with certain players will work but I haven't tried all those combos yet. Something with the decoder using...
I think you are both right in a way. I'm having issues with any hidef playback and have no GPU utilization even though the GPU (HD3850) is supposed to do most of the work. It turns out that the software (API) that utilizes the GPU (DXVA 2.0) for hardware acceleration is vista specific. So...
After more research I think I know what the problem is...
AVIVO does not offer any actual decoding software, it only allows decoder developers to utilize the DXVA API.
DXVA 2.0 allows video capturing and processing operations to be hardware accelerated, but DXVA 2.0 is available only on...
I've tried 6-7 programs for video playback and decoding but none of them make any difference. Is it because I am playing a file rather that a blue-ray or HD disk? The sapphire websiete also says this:

I tried a 1080P TV but had to use a normal monitor cable due to lack of a HDMI port...

Hello all. Well an update on my 3850 and hopefully a bit of help here. My 3850 died and I had to RMA it. my replacement came and I installed the 8.9 hotfix drivers at the same time. The good news is everything is working great. The open GL issues I had are gone and everything...
I had the exact same problem on an X800. It happened by over tightening an after market cooling solution. I was able to get the problem to go away for a while by adjusting the coolers position but the slightest movement caused the problem to come back. It finally stopped going away altogether...
