hey all, will them core i7's be enough to play 1080p x642 mkv all that stuff, blu ray rips and stuff? if you couldn't follow that basically i want to build a computer to play everything but not offload stuff to the GPU. I plan to use XBMC because I love it as a player, and it does not use the GPU (even though you can set it to use other programs - that may use the GPU - to play particular files)
My 2GHZ single-core laptop with shared video memory will play 720P video just fine...An I7 should do 1080p just fine.
lolz sorry mod, i haven't even posted here in like yearss i dun even know any more, but this is the place to BE about them hardware questions and latest hack-my-dvd rip programs okay cool thanks guyz because team xbmc stay not utilizing the gpu for rendering and at first it was pissing me off but i have to upgrade anyway but the TV also needs a new computer kuz that xbox1 is getting hammered in the...ethernet side.. lol.. by the high def videos, not even high def, the x264 mkv with aac make it stutter 5 frames in so i gotta upgrade just get a good laptop, by the summer they'll prolly have some i7 notebook versions out i hear them atom processors do alright too get a netbook and play high def rofl, video out ftw.
Oh yes this is definitely the place to be! But let's do a refresher on the rules rdxtreme - like your sig for one - too many lines of text and even the 'disguised' language needs to be removed from it. (guess I missed this yesterday!) Check them out - link in my sig.
rdxtreme, keep editing the sig as still to many lines. yours including the 2 empty lines is 8 lines. 1. Text-only signatures should have at most 5 lines of text.
It has rules, and trust me, those rules were here in 2006 - I was here then, and had to conform to them then, as I do to them now.
Maybe but it's a big forum - pretty hard for mods to read every post in every thread. So more than likely you just slipped under the wire then.
