You do?

If you have a crap CPU then it might be choppy, but I'd be very surprised if there were any situations where there is a discernible reduction in video quality with hardware acceleration turned off.
 
Yeah you don't get the benefits of GPU hardware acceleration in flash which gives a smoother picture which is very apparent with HD content.
 
Hardware acceleration just uses the GPU to decode rather than the CPU....

I don't know what CPU you have, but I cannot see any degradation between the two here. Playback is smooth whether hardware acceleration is on or off.
 
yeah the clocks increase to 500/ 1375 when playing dvd or blu-ray playback via media player/classic player and youtube.

Even worse for me it wont clock up to 880/1375 when i load any game but leave youtube on in the background.!!!!!! Tried every catalyst 10.12's to 11.1's !


I really wish I stayed with my 4870 and just stayed at 1680x1050 with no aa.

Have you thought about closing the video when your gaming ?

I'm going out on a limb, but if I was a driver developer I don't think I would consider that people might need to game and watch a movie at the same time.

Maybe that's just me.

Any CPU faster than a single core Atom up should play back a HD film no trouble.

I don't do this but some people use Youtube to play music playlists and turn the music off in the game.
