Hulu and 7801u

I was trying out my screen's full HD capabilities by playing some 1080p content from Hulu (Legend of the Seeker) and to my surprise the video was very choppy when I full screened it. It was only choppy during the fast scenes but nevertheless I did not expect a 9800m gts to give me this performance when my old Toshiba with an Intel integrated GPU and 1.83 GHz dual core did not lag at all. Does anyone else have this problem?

 

I am actually having the same problem with my 7805u, it plays fine until there is faster movement on the screen. And this was watching it at 480p. I have played HD trailers from apple (Star Trek) at full 1080p and it didn't sputter once. Just wondering what might be the cause of this.

Doubt its the card, could it just possibly be the video? or internet and its just trying to buffer?

 

Its the buffering from Hulu because other HD streaming vides like apples one work fine.

 

Yeah I tried watching American Dad at 480p as well and had the same result. It's like the video card isn't even being used.

 

Well I have fios and a gigabit router with my fx hardwired in via ethernet. And the fx is 10/100/1000mpbs. So it's not the internet. Most likely it's the site. really wish there was a fix for this though

 

They're likely using/used a variable bit rate to encode the movies. That uses more bandwidth for high motion scenes. Not sure what all the transmission of the data goes through, but a sudden spike coming from Hulu might create the lag you're talking about.

 

But the problem is that my previous computer with an integrated GPU could play Hulu 1080p fine, and the choppiness is present every time I full screen a video on Hulu with my new computer.

Off-Topic: GallardosEggrollshop, how come your CPU clock speed is 2.26 on a 7805u? I thought it was 2.4.
