Tearing in movies with GT 430

[TechyInAZ]

Very strange thing that I haven't seen before, when watching stuff on Netflix or amazing instant video, basically anything with sliverlight there is a minor amount of tearing. How do I fix this?

Get a better video card as "silver lighting" is graphics intensive!

Really? My HD 3000 doesn't have this problem and it is not even equal to the GT 430 in performance.

Intel HD3000 (i5 2500K) vs NVIDIA GT 430

I finally went against all advice and bought a GT430 for my HTPC. I reran the files that jmone kindly posted in the ATI vs NVIDIA thread and I'm a little disappointed with the performance.


Intel HD3000 GT430
Windowed. Exclusive. Windowed. Exclusive.
60i AVC. CPU. 55%. 40% 30% 22%
Drops. 520. 0 1400 0
50i AVC. CPU. 45%. 35% 30% 20%
Drops 55. 0 650 0
50p AVC. CPU. 40%. 30% 30% 20%
Drops. 8. 0 165 0
60i VC1. CPU. 25%. 20% 30% 20%
Drops 0. 0 1500 0

Only counting frame drops in actual playback (not the few lost at the beginning)

On a happier note, the deinterlacing in the VC1 clip is now much better!

I was under the impression that the GT430 was 3 or 4 times 'faster' than the Intel HD3000 for 'games' anyway.
How fast a card does one need to not get frame drops in windowed mode?

The windowed mode performance is poor given that these are relatively short clips of about a minute or so max.

Huh, so it's because the Gt 430 is older which is why it does the tearing?

I was quite surprised too! To think that an on chip graphic solution could be this powerful... Who'd a thunk?
My oldest stand alone card is a GT610 with 2GB DDR3 ram! It ran all video with no tears but gaming sucked!
I bought it for 40 bucks when my GTX 260 died so I could at least watch videos!
