Question Can a 2 core 4 thread i3-4130 or similar handle sending 1080p 240fps video to a dedicated gpu?

[WakeUpDeadPCs]

Will it stutter/max out cpu or can it playback flawlessly?

doing what?

while playing a 1080p 240fps video, can the i3-4130 with say dual channel 1600mhz cl11 ram manage sending all of that video to a gpu for it to playback smoothly or will the cpu bottleneck the gpu from smoothly playing the video

depend on if the decoding is done on the cpu or the gpu

Playing a video file?
Where do you get 240fps video?
This depends on video codec used. And if cpu supports decoding in hardware for this specific codec.

If you have a discrete gpu, then video decoding is done in GPU instead.

I am not even sure how you would verify this without trying.

Obviously, video at that frame rate wasn't really a thing when this CPU came out. Playback of a 'recorded' video is a whole different ballgame than actually rendering the frames.

I don't personally own a monitor that will display that framerate, regardless of what a counter is "reporting" being rendered, so no real way for me to test even with a far higher generation of CPU.
