Hardware based decoding or something Something (I think) that only works in Windows 7 - AMD drop and drag transcoding. (The ATI drivers install it, if your card supports it). Its meant to (I think) transcode whatever file into whatever format a media player supports, when you copy files to it. |

| 819671 | 2009-12-24 20:34:00 | Yeah some graphics cards with the right software offload the encoding to the GPU which is supposedly faster. In my experiences it was pretty darn good, and it meant I was able to carry on doing other things at the same time like encoding a DVD while surfing, chatting, and the system was still responsive as normal :) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 819672 | 2009-12-24 21:07:00 | I have noticed with media center in win7 that CPU usage is considerably lower (after I installed this card), it usually hovered around 50-60% CPU usage. Right now its hovering between 2-4% CPU usage. Altho, it probably didnt help when the card I removed didnt have a fan. And used to go to 55 degrees. Whereas, this one has a fan and it hovers around 37-40 degrees. A LOT cooler | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
