Hi Kado,

On my AGP based entry level system here (both Nvidia and ATI), the main problem with 1920x1080x60fps playback is the massive amount of dropped frames, especially with VMR9. Tearing is not much of an issue once wait_for_vsync is enabled.

On the ATI system, EVR apparently takes care of the dropped frames issue and playback looks smooth. (EVR has not been tested on the Nvidia system yet.) The occasional hick up could be caused by inadequate power supply to the graphics card. Of course we have to wait for Casimir to get the tearing test working with EVR before knowing for sure, as reclock does not seem to function with the new renderer.

Hope this helps.
