Choppy 1080p Playback (VLC Media Player)

WeatherMan · 02-17-2012, 01:55 PM

Guys,

Specs are in sig,

I have a few movies on my system in the matroska format (.mkv)

Each play fine whilst in windowed mode, but as soon a I full screen them I experience some choppyness, I am not sure how to describle it, it's like frame stutter. It is pretty much constant, but only slight, still extremely annoying though!

I have VSYNC forced on in the nvidia control panel.

Surely my CPU should be able to handle 1080p?

My 9800GTX+ is overclocked to 800/1200, I've tried all sorts of CPU priority setings.

I am running Windows 7, during playback my CPU utilization is around 60-70%

Any idea's?

Have you tried any other media players, to check if the problem is just vlc ?

Could you reccomend a good alternative? I have mainly stuck to VLC because of how many formats it supports.
