Greetings Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 I got myself an MSI 8600GT a few days ago. The day I installed it, I realized there were some serious display issues with DV playback. This card has something called NVidia Pure Video, it's basically something to do with video decompression. Meh, it doesn't work, still getting 100% CPU usage when playing 1080 video. No idea if this feature is influencing anything, but it's there in case you ask. The problem is that the picture is of dreadful quality (poor colours and absolutely no sharpness) and there are some problems with strong colours in motion which is clearly visible in the middle pic.Tried playing the video in VLC, WMP11 and something else I don't remember the name of. In each program the problems are the same. The video is 50i, when turned into 25p this problem still occurs. Well, here's a pic of what I mean (what's up with the green trail in the middle pic?) Left pic rendered in Premiere on the 8600GT (it's perfect), middle is a screenshot when playing back the video in WMP11 on the 8600GT, right is taken on the 6100 in WMP11.Tried several different drivers. I'm now back to my integrated 6100 which is actually faster in games (under Vista at least) than the 8600GT. But it causes the OS to play up and each hour I have to restart the computer.So, does anybody know what could be the cause of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted May 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 that does rather suggest that the 8600 is brokenNah, it's superb in XP. Vista's the problem.Games that run much slower are NFS Carbon and CC Generals. Haven't tried other games.Going to ask nvidia about this then, been to quite a few people and nobody had a clue.

You need like an extra 512mb ram to play games at the same speed as they play in xp, luckily though, pluggin a memory pen into a usb socket and formatting it to be used as system ram is a handy feature for vista, if you have a spare 512mb flash drive that'll give you a nice little performance boost.
