F@H GPU client + video playback + Windows 7 = :(

Viper007Bond · June 2nd, 2009, 8:32 AM

Under Vista, I could easily watch a video while my F@H GPU client was chugging along.

However under Windows 7, the video lags absolutely terribly (I assume as it's being rendered by the GPU or something). I'm fiddling with the settings in MPC, but I can't get it to play smoothly.

Any ideas?

Dragging CPU usage all the way to the left seems to have fixed it. I don't remember having to do this the last time I installed it, but w/e.

It made it better, but it's still lagging videos. images/smilies/sad.gif

It happens for me under XP as well with a GTX 275. I end up stopping the client, then resuming after I am done with videos.

Oddly it didn't do it for me under Vista.

But whatever. F@H isn't that important. images/smilies/smile.gif
