Can anyone who has one of the Radeon cards with this technology assure me that it works with PowerDVD 7 and H.264 decoding?
At the moment I have an X850XT and have to use my CPU (AMD Athlon 64 3500+) to watch any H.264 HD streams. The problem is that it struggles BIG TIME. I literally get 1-2 seconds of smooth play and then the video begins to start/stutter really bad.
So I was wondering if I purchased a HIS X1800 GTO card which features AVIVO that the GPU would happily cope with decoding the streams for smooth playback... Not interested in mega-graphics power for gaming now that I have my Xbox 360.
