ja nisam primetio nikakvu razliku sem tamnije slike na ATI-ju, brljanja sa h.264 i ponekim wmv. AVIVO vise ni ne instaliram jer je vise stete nego koristi...vidija je bila zakon po pitanju akceleracije filmova, naravno za dvd moras pure video drajvere da stavis...Sa 8xxx serijom vise ni to ne mora. do duse ne znam kakav je ovaj novi AVIVO, ima kod druga jedna karta pa mu mozda uzmem da probam. Na testovima po netu to sto ti pominjes niko nije primetio, ja bi reko da si ti nesto istripovo opasno ili sa 7600 nisi nesto namestio dobro u samim plejerima...mislim, imao sam tu kartu i sve je lepo radilo. Razlika izmedju akceleracije u divX su se videla poslednji put izmedju GeF4> i radeon 9xxx serije...
Evo dela texta sa guru3d koji objashnjava, sta je AVIVO HD.
The key advantages of Avivo HD technology are twofold.
First and foremost to offload the CPU by allowing the GPU to take over a huge sum of the workload while being more energy efficient aware. HDTV decoding can be very demanding for a CPU. These media files can peak to 20 Mbit/sec easily as HD streams offer high-resolution playback in 1280x720p or even 1920x1080p without framedrops and image quality loss. By offloading that big task for the bigger part of the graphics core, you give the CPU way more headroom to do other things, which actually makes your PC run normal.
Make no mistake though, as our tests have proven, any modern CPU is quite capable of doing the same job just fine. But a combination of factors offer you stutter-free high quality and high resolution media playback. All standard HDTV resolutions are of course supported, among them the obvious 480p, 720p and 1080i modes and now also 1080p (P=Progressive and I=Interlaced). The new HD 2000 series will also offer you HD noise reduction, which is a great feature with older converted films. And this is where we land at the second advantage of Avivo, Image Quality.
Avivo HD can offer a large amount of options that'll increase the IQ of playback. This can be managed with a wide variety of options. Obviously AMD has some interesting filters available in the Avivo HD suite like advanced de-interlacing, which can greatly improve image quality while playing back that HD-DVD, MPEG2, TS AV-1 or H.264 file (just some examples). Aside from that, things like colour corrections should not be forgotten. All major media streams are supported by AMD with Avivo HD. And yes, High Definition H.264 acceleration, which will eventually become a big, new and preferred standard, is also supported. AMD’s upgraded Avivo with a new Universal Video Decoder, also known as UVD, and the new Advanced Video Processor, or AVP. UVD actually made its debut in the OEM-exclusive RV550 GPU core. UVD provides hardware acceleration of H.264 and VC-1 high definition video formats used by Blu-ray and HD DVD. The AVP allows the GPU to apply hardware acceleration and video processing functions while keeping power consumption low.
UVD expands on the previous generation’s AVIVO implementation to include hardware bit stream processing and entropy decode functions. Hardware acceleration of frequency transform, pixel prediction and deblocking functions remain supported, as with the first generation AVIVO processing. AMD’s Advanced Video Processor, or AVP, has also made the cut for low power video processing.
Ja licno nikakvih problema sa AVIVOm nisam imao radi sve kao sat, pokretao sam i semplove h.264 sa MS ovog sajta rade besprekorno.
Ovo za kvalitet slike stoji, ne znam kako da prikazem, ali nije ni vazno, to je moj subjektivni utisak.
@Obi van
Znao sam da ces da kazesh testovi ne valjaju, ja sam video licno. I okacio si shot na kraju igre, niti si naveo koja su setovanja niti koji komp, driveri i ostalo. I sta sad, jel' treba da predjem celu igru samo da bi uzeo taj shot... a necemo istu pricu kao u STALKER-u

.
Izvini ako ti ne verujem, kod tebe graficke rade brze nego kod ostatka sveta

pa je najpametnije da tvoju grafiku zavedemo u "bez klase" posto radi brze od svega zivog.
Sacekacemo nekog sa obicnom 1950pro.
@Superstarr
Dobro postoji usporenje u smuslu 0xAF naspram 16xAF to se podrazumeva, ali nista nije sporije nego na drugim kartama.
EDIT:
Zaboravih da nevedem josh jednu stvar koji 2600XT ima a to je "Tessellation unit", jeste da se ne koristi ali tu je.
