[mythtv-users] HDTV playback & GF4

[Kent Williams]

I was wondering how much of a benefit the Geforce 4 MX is for HDTV
playback?
My Frontend is a HT p4 2.8ghz with a Geforce 2 (using the Nvidia
drivers) and it can't seem to playback any HDTV channels correctly.

The backend has two nova dvb-t cards and the hdds are dma enabled. It
also happens on HDTV shows I have recorded previously and am just
playing back.
The network is 100Mbps full duplex and doesn't appear to be a problem.
The CPU usage on the frontend is sitting up close to 100% (96% +).

If I went out and bought a GeForce 4 MX, is the CPU usage likely to drop
significantly?

Cheers,
Kent
