[mythtv-users] PIP unwatchable on i5-2400 built in HD2000 GPU. Would a GT730 GPU fix this?

I'm not sure it will fix your problem but I have the top 1 an it works
great.It cost a little more but it's 128bit with 384 cuda cores. With
ffmpeg nvenc enabled 40min tv shows took 45 min with cpu now 10min with gpu.
