This may help, may not. When I was playing with this a year or so ago, |
38 |
I found a HD test video on the internet somewhere. I'm pretty sure it |
39 |
was 1080p. I set smplayer to play and repeat the video and then I |
40 |
watched the CPU and temps on the video card. I would try each setting |
41 |
and see how much CPU load there was and watched the temps on the video |
42 |
card. I figure if the card temps are warmer, it is giving the card a |
43 |
work out instead of my CPU. |

I ended up using "gl (fast)" for mine but this may not work at all for |
46 |
your system. This may give you a way to test the settings and sort of |
47 |
know if the right hardware is doing its job or not. |

Here is two links if you want to try my weird way of doing this: |

I use downloadhelper to grab those then play them locally. Both of |
56 |
those are available in 1080p tho. Should warm up something. ;-) |
