Using Intel Clear Video HD with discrete graphics

Hi all,

When I was playing with my new GTX 680 I realised that I had lost the quality that Intel Clear Video HD gave me in movies and videos especially at 1080. I can see a massive difference when watching movies with the Graphics card and I am using VLC Media Player by the way.

Now my question is will I be able to use the onboard iGPU for movie watching making use of the Intel Clear Video Technology or am I restricted to only the GTX 680 for movie watching?. I have installed the iGPU drivers and Lucid Logix Virtu MVP although I guess that only takes advantage of Quick Sync. Is there some magical way to make the player recognize the iGPU instead of the Discrete GFX when playing movies?. I have not tried connecting my monitor to the onboard display port yet but will that make a difference because I suppose the computer recognizes only one display adapter except during special circumstances like video encoding when Virtu MVP kicks in to use the iGPU. I am terribly gutted by knowing that I have gained massive gaming fun but lost quality movie watching. Please help :(.....

Thanks
 
76 views and no replies? Any help would be appreciated guys. I have not configured ffdshow on VLC which I had done before when I was running off the iGPU. Would that be the deciding factor. Now the videos look all blurry and not crisp.
 
What CPU do you have?

If you have a 2nd or 3rd generation Core with quicksync, download the quicksync ffdshow and use mpc to watch your videos.

I don't know if that's relevant to clear video hd.
