Ok so i have been really interested to know if its worth testing Win 7 for GBPVR client use.
My tale begins with having one of the 780G board (Well its a 790GX so a little faster and 128mb sideport mem) and had major problems with XP and getting it to work right with my setup as a client. This related to the codec issues and getting playback smooth.
So on to Vista, and after tweaking with ATI setting and FFdshow setting i managed to get decently good playback and am mostly happy.
There are still some minor issues and wondering if there is any real gain or benefits to using Win 7 Vs. Vista
