Hi!

I have a short question. I currently have SVP running on my i5 4570 with opencl on quicksync running. With lower bandwidth stuff it is running ok, but I can't run MadVR as a decoder.
I also have a GT210 laying around, which I currently do not use. If I would put it in my computer, do you think it could give me some benfits?

thanks for your answers.

I just added my results.

Hey guys!

I have an HTPC/Homeserver with a Sandy Bridge Celeron G1610 running as my main media playing environment. I have no discrete GPU yet and SVP naturally does not work how it should. Now I was thinking of upgrading my Setup so that it allows me to play all my media (also 1080p h264 mkv) with SVP enabled. I got a little confused on the hardware recommendations here, so I have a few questions.
So what would be the cheapest upgrade I can do that also does not raise the power consumption too much as my server is nearly running 24/7.
Would a discrete GPU be enough or do I have to upgrade the processor as well?
And if so, would a switch to AMD APUs make more sense?

Hopefully you can give me some pointers.
