I just bought a new PC with the following specs for my HTPC:

AMD Athlon II X2 250
Biostar A780L 760G mATX MB
4GB DDR2-800 GSkill

Now I also have another PC with a 4870x2 and when I enabled DXVA (either using MPC-HCs internal codecs or FFDshows DXVA Video Decoder), I know that its playing because my CPU utilization is <= 5% and my GPU utilization goes up to 10% during intense scenes...remember its a 4870x2 :p ). Now, I was aware that a Radeon 3000 was able to handle DXVA so after multiple attempts to enable it (and force it to be enabled), and it doesn't work. Because it doesn't work, the CPU has to decode everything and the utilization is >80% some of the time, and the some other times when it stutters, the CPU is at 50-60% so I'm guessing its the GPU that's causing the bottleneck. Any ideas, assistance? That would be appreciated. Thanks.

Edit: I just did some more research and its because my card's a 3000, not an HD3000...which is what I need. Guess that's why the board was free. :\

No, it's an integrated HD 3000 series. You probably don't have your software configured correctly.
