I have been using a Gainward GT240 with 1Gb of GDDR5 for video editing and Full HD in Windows XP which works fine but have decided to switch to Linux Mint because it is a dream to use (Less problems). However my main interest is video and the card just will not work properly no matter what driver is installed. In 1080p the System Monitor shows the CPU cores topping out at 100% or just below indicating the cause of the constant strutter on video playback.
The card was purchased with the aim of being a low powered solution to taking the strain off of the CPU which it does in Windows but unfortunately not with Linux. I have been driven back to Windows because of this on several occasions but enough is enough. I am not computer savvy just a Widows clicker so the solution needs to be simple.
