Galaxy G210 and GT 220 review : Arrival of Nvidia’s 40nm DX10.1 video cards
Video Playback
Free software such as Media Player Classic Home Cinema can use GPU acceleration using DXVA (DirectX Video Acceleration) protocol. As this card could be used for a HTPC-gaming rig, we decided to check out its Full-HD video playback capabilities.
I used Media Player Classic Home Cinema for the playback. The video used was the trailer of movie “The International” available from Divx 7 HD showcase Webpage. This is a 12.3 Mbps 1920×816 video. Here’s the image with video info
The average CPU usage was measured with Performance Monitor module included in Windows Vista. The video was played back 5 times and results averaged to eliminate any errors.
There is not much difference here as all of the GPUs are able to keep the CPU usage on a dual core CPU below 20% which is very good. This means that you will be able to enjoy smooth Full HD video playback on your system using GPU acceleration.
i bought one 8 months ago mostly i use my pc to play wow yesterday the grafix card burned up. trid to call the 24/7 number but no return the card is suppos to have a 2 year warranty.

Hi Donald,
I just called the toll free number and got an immediate answer. According to the Galaxy tech, they sometimes are so busy that their calls go to a voice mail.
He did say that they were checking their voice mails right now. If you do not want to wait for a response, try the toll free number again.
