6600gt step into liquid

[luckystrikefilters]

i downloaded step into liquid the high quality thingy. now i own a 6600gt gainward golden sample pci-e. and i was assuming the video processor worked on the 6600 just not 6800.
when i play it the i do not drop any frames and it runs smooth but my cpu is at 94-97% load. cpu is 3500+ winchester. motherboard is asus sli deluxe. can someone tell me what i have to install to get this to work or is my 6600gt like 6800gt without working vpu?

any help id apreciate.

You need to download the Nvidia DVD decoder from the Nvidia web site.

i have to buy it? isnt there a free driver or something if i want to watch it in windows media player anyway?

windows media player sux.

you need to use a real DVD player (winDVD, cyberlink powerDVD, etc) and make sure hardware acceleration is enabled in that programs options.

Thugs will that help?? I believe that is a wmv HD file....I though I heard that wasn't goping to play well for any of the cards until microsoft updates the dll for the wmp 10...AT had special drivers given to them for the test.....

i tried with power dvd which i own (reason i dontw anna buy nvidia dvd software) and it dropped to 65-92% still kinda high no?i use the forceware the nvidia site lets me download its 66.93 i think?

You need to use the 67.1x drivers listed in this forum at the top as official drivers....It is actually the latest according to gamingphreek and is the official one to enable the PVP on the cards...you need to use these...

thanks guys, downloading as i type this will it also lower the load when i use media player? i like it even tho it might suck. its just what pop ups when i double click video files.

well i downloaded the pure video enabled beta driver linked on top of this forum and it didnt change alot. im not really unhappy because the video runs very smooth and ive never even seen anything in a quality like this one. but how would i go about checking if my power dvd 5 has wardware acceleration enabled or not? id like to get the load as low as i can.

Those were the latest

Nvidia just released a couple days ago the 67.66 Official Beta Drivers (meaning they originate from Nvidia yet they are still not final).

I would try the 71.20 Valence Drivers, and then the 67.66 then 67.03, then 66.93. Anything lower than that something else is wrong.

Should be something like configuration or video settings.....I have an old copy of powerDVD but I use WinDVD 6 now and I enabled hardware acceleration in my 6800 an while ofcourse I get no advantage in that WMV-HD playback it did play my DVDs back at nearly 1/2 as much cpu utilization as it was taking with it off....

You are correct. Microsoft has yet to release a WMV HD modified .dll. If anyone has some programming experience of that caliber then i guess they COULD do it but as of right now we are waiting on Microsoft. Installing PureVideo or any other DVD Player isn't going to do anything for WMV HD files, apart from that it works on the 6600's.
