Well, I replaced my aging geforce4 mx400 with a geforce 6600 gt a few day ago, with no difference in performance.
I pretty good with computers, but don't know your software in and out...so I could be way off track with this:
I'm roughly taking in the info on 1.0+ that you went to an all direct3d interface, which should put a lot more of the work on the actual videocard, which could be why I've seen such a drastic increase in smoothness/performance since installing the latest release a couple hours ago. It really is so much better, I feel like I'm using a whole other program....I had simply learned to live with the quirks before now, and usually watched most of my shows over the MVP because the picture quality looked a little better, and it didn't have these little stutters like my main box did.
So far, best release I've run yet.
As far as system specs, I'm running the following:
amd64 3200
512 RAM
geforce 6600 gt
OS drive - 40 GB
Recording Drive - 400 GB
2 pvr150 cards
Sub, I slowly upgrade this box as I get around to it....but where would you aim next on my config to help smooth things out even more:
more RAM, or dual core proc?
