DD + Nvidia CUDA + CoreAVC 1.9 = Flawless Flexible Setup??
Posted: Fri Mar 27, 2009 12:37 pm
Question to fellow DVBDreamers 
As a fan of ATI GPU's, I'm curious if any of you have tested with the new version of CoreAVC that has Nvidia CUDA support? I have tested and was generally pleased with CoreAVC 1.8 and an ATI 2600XT, but would rather use harware acceleration of h264 video. I found that CoreAVC with an Intel Quad Core Q6600, the CPU usage was low and generally efficient. Things would only get hairy when you would try to multitask, the CPU could and would obviously tax, and the video would suffer
Im wondering if a setup that combines CoreAVC's ability to hardware accelerate content with Nvidia's CUDA technology may be the best, most flexible hardware and software decoder setup possible.
Any thoughts or experiences?
