Enabling 2D Enhancements on GeForce 6 and 7 Series
Quote:
"GeForce 6 and 7 series have a dedicated 2D processor in charge of enhancing the quality of 2D videos executed by programs such as Windows Media Player. But there is an important detail that nVidia doesn't tell: the 2D enhancements are not automatically enabled. Hardware secrets will show you how this is done in this tutorial. But it's pretty easy, all you need to do is download, install and properly configure Windows Media Player 10 + nVidia DVD Decoder.
What results can you expect? Hardware Secrets claim: "When playing a video before configuring the video card decoder, the CPU load was between 8% and 18%. When we switched the video decoding to the video card the CPU load was between 2% and 3%, really impressive."
