RL70 playing 1080p movies - stuttering

Morning All

 

I have a RL70 with 4GB RAM, 512MB allocated to video card in BIOS.

Drive has been replaced with high speed SSD and have tried Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.

 

Tried VLC and MPC MEdia players and on both when I play a 1080P movie from the SSD the CPU jumps up to 100% when the movie starts and the picture stutters and stops all the time. Obviously its not usable.

 

Does anybody have any hints and tips to get this working?

As far as I understand, this HD graphcs card should be capable of 1080P playback.

 

Anybody else use this PC with 1080P without any issues?

    What power plan are you using?  Balanced?  High performance?

     

    Have you tried jellyfish files?

    You've tested SSD and it is working like it's supposed to......4k aligned? etc..

    You're thinking hardware acceleration is not working?

    Edit: I forgot to mention....turn off your anti virus temporarily when you run your benchmark.  You'll get a better benchmark.  But don't forget to turn it back on when you're done.  Smiley Wink

    There might be other RL70 users that have done a benchmark and you can compare to see if your hardware works the same as theirs.  There's other benchmarks you can run if you google.
