Howdy,
As some know, I recently bought a video card. While not the most modern
thing, it is a lot faster than my old one. I have a question tho. When
I'm watching TV and playing a video with Smplayer, high resolution or a
medium resolution, it seems to use a good bit of CPU power. I notice in
gkrellm, htop etc that it is using about 20 to sometimes 40 or 50% of
CPU power. Yes, I still have the 8 core CPU in here. In Smplayer, I
have video driver set to "gl(fast)" but have tried other settings as
well. Obviously, some just plain don't work at all. It causes Smplayer
to crash. I did some googling, I think this is the best driver setting
for my card. It is nvidia based. Question, how do I know it is using
the video card to process as much of the video as it is supposed to be
doing? Is there some command I'm not aware of to test this? Here is
some hardware info.
