    Enabling 2D Enhancements on GeForce 6 and 7 Series

    "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."

    Hope this helps you nVidia guys, can't prove it works as Im an ATi man.

    Cool, reading now. Though i doubt that much load on CPU will effect my X2.

    nVidia decoder is a 30-day trial software. So far we couldn’t understand why nVidia doesn’t give this software for free. For someone that has just spent USD 600 on a video card is frustrating – to say the least – to have to buy a USD 15 software in order to use all features provided by the video card
    the man does have a good point...!
