Topic: video cards that can handle 144HZ video

I have a computer with an amd-FX 6300. I have 144HZ moniter. The video card i have now is a gefore 210. It can handle 480p 144fps video but that's it! When my computer play 144fps 720p the cpu usage never goes beyond 30% so and when I have GPU acceleration on in SVP my computer can't even handle 480pc 144fps content. So clearlily I need a new video card. I don't care about playing video games I just want the cheapest video card that I can get that can do 1080p 144fps content. Can you guys recommend me video cards?

Re: video cards that can handle 144HZ video

something like gt630 i think

Re: video cards that can handle 144HZ video

144hz and 144fps are not the same thing - your issue is that you're not getting 144fps.

Pretty much any video card can do 144hz; I ran 120hz back on an old Radeon 9600, could do 120hz on the Radeon 6310 integrated onto an AMD E-350 APU, and can do 125hz on the integrated Intel iGPU on my Pentium G3258.


Considering that you have a 6-thread CPU, it's very possible that could actually have better performance if you disabled GPU acceleration.

If you are insistant on getting a new GPU, then I personally would actually recommend something Radeon-based since they have better GPU-compute performance (unless you're talking about older architectures like the 5000 series vs fermi).

Rendering 144 fps on cpu is very heavy while rendering them on a low end gpu is pretty fast and gives higher quality. And offloads cpu for more  useful tasks.

There's a reason I used the words "possible" and "could" rather than "definitely" and "will". tongue

Simple question - simple answer.
Why make it so complicated?  big_smile

Re: video cards that can handle 144HZ video

Anyway, back more to the issue at hand, has the topic creator tried running their monitor at 120hz instead?  Heck if you have the right model, you could even enable backlight strobing for reduced motion blur.

While it doesn't really solve the 144fps performance issue, it may very well actually look better in your eyes.

Re: video cards that can handle 144HZ video

anyway gf210 can't even make 60 fps, according to SVPmark database
in fact it is slower than intel hd2500

Re: video cards that can handle 144HZ video

So my suggestion of disabling GPU acceleration doesn't sound so crazy now, does it? tongue

Re: video cards that can handle 144HZ video

If TS doesn't have $40 than may be you're right  big_smile
but according to his question - he has wink

Re: video cards that can handle 144HZ video

How about HD5670?

From GPU Compability, it has quite high rating
(I'm using it but my CPU quite old, i5-650, and not so fast, only 3.2GHz)

Of course, it's better to use HD66xx or HD76xx because it's newer.

Re: video cards that can handle 144HZ video

Just note that newer isn't always faster; in terms of performance you should almost always* ignore the first number of a CPU or GPU product since the first number is the equivalent of the year model on cars.

*I say almost because typically if all the other numbers are the same, like 6770 vs 7770, the one with the larger first number will be faster.  Also, the bigger the gap between the first number, the larger the difference - a HD7770 would be quite a bit faster than an HD4770 to the point that an HD7750 would probably be faster than said HD4770.

i've got it and it sucks on hw decoding of 1920x1080 videos sad

That's probably because it uses the older VLIW architecture which was pretty sub-par at GPU-compute.  GCN, used in the HD7000 series, is much faster at compute.

Interestingly enough, Nvidia kind of went the other way around - the Fermi architecture used in the 400 and 500 series was commonly better at GPU-compute than the 600 series (though his may be related to the fact that the none of the 600 series GPUs use "large kepler" aka GK110)

"that rating"'s "100%" is exactly at 60 fps * 100%
so for 144 fps it should have "rating" >= 240%

Yeah, I need to set the profile quite low for 1080p video sad
I thought the lagging when playing 1080p (sometimes, not always) due to my slow cpu.

Thanks, I don't follow any GPU or CPU info nowadays. I'm not a gamer and my PC mainly for watching, I guess the TS is same that's why he only cares the GPU that can play 1080p on 144Hz smile

Re: video cards that can handle 144HZ video

there's very simple solution - turn off hw decoding for 1080p wink
full 1920*1080 + SVP isn't working on 56xx cards
and 1920*800 works well

Re: video cards that can handle 144HZ video

Wait, DXVA2 hardware decoding or SVP GPU-acceleration?  Those are two very different things.

Re: video cards that can handle 144HZ video

I know that in my system it works like this:
- 800p + hw decoder = working
- 1080p + hw decoder = stuttering
- 1080p + sw decoder = working

And itsn't about CGN but about UVD...

Re: video cards that can handle 144HZ video

...but you still haven't answered the question on whether "hw decoder" means 'SVP GPU-compute' or 'LAVfilters DXVA2'.
R7 240 (by 10-30 USD).

Re: video cards that can handle 144HZ video

"hw decoder" means "hardware video decoder used for decoding video stream"  big_smile

Re: video cards that can handle 144HZ video

OK, but the issue the topic creator is referring to is about SVP's GPU-acceleration rather than his GPU's DXVA decoder performance.

EDIT:

when I have GPU acceleration on in SVP my computer can't even handle 480pc 144fps content.

He clearly means content interpolated up to 144fps because, if he meant native 144fps content, then this wouldn't be an issue to ask on the SVP forum.  Not only that, but native 144fps videos have got to be incredibly rare (native 120fps videos are rare enough as it is)

EDIT 2 Besides, the r7 240 is faster and less expensive than the gt 630 you mentioned - the only downside is that it seems to require a PCIe 3.0 slot, which eixan may not have.

EDIT 3: ...and I just found out that there's actually two different revisions of the gt 630 - one that's Fermi and another that's Kepler.

I just was answering to mashingan about hd5670  big_smile
cause i've got hd5670 and i don't like it
