C2Duo E4700 + Intel GMA 3100 - Does GPU FFT3d make sense here ?

[Poutnik]

Hi after long pause....

In few days I will get a new PC with C2Duo E4700.

For some years I was used to my old good poor Celeron600. I was capturing half PAL from air TV analog card ( or 480/576 if brave enough ).
I was usually using only fast filters by Kassandro and DegrainMedian by Fizick.

Now the new world appears to my Avisynth posibilities.. :-)

I have temporary ( until next money :-) ) there only integrated Intel GMA 3100 graphics on G33(?) chipset, said to have HW support for DX 9.

Does make sense to try it with GPU based FFT3d ?

On one hand it can save some CPU work. On the other one CPU may be much faster than this GMA, waiting for it.....

In fact I have no much experiences but curious trial with FFT3d filter, having funny FPS on Coppermine core ....

According to the list given it might not work. No idea though, never tried it without my GFX.

The following cards will not work:

Nvidia:
TNT
TNT2
Geforce 256
GeForce2 Ultra, Ti, Pro,MX,Go and GTS
Geforce3 Ti 200, Ti 500
GeForce4 Ti, MX, Go

Ati:
Radeon 7xxx
Radeon 8xxx
Radeon 90xx
Radeon 92xx

Matrox:
G2xx
G4xx
G5xx
maybe Parhelia

The following should work:

Nvidia:
Geforce FX 5xxx
Geforce 6xxx
Geforce 7xxx

Ati:
Radeon 9500
Radeon 9550
Radeon 9600
Radeon 9700
Radeon 9800
Radeon Xxxx
Radeon X1xxx

where x means any digit

I highly doubt it would be worth it. FFT3DGPU was developed on a GeForce 7800gt, and any Intel integrated graphics isn't likely to have the pixel shading clout necessary to improve upon FFT3DFilter's speed on your Core 2 Duo.

I'd use fft3dfilter multithreaded, or get a cheap GPU like a 9600gt. Accelerated, fft3dgpu can run real-time even on 1080p video. It's a great filter!
