Will my PC play 1080p?

[comp@ddict]

how come ? *s269.photobucket.com/albums/jj44/visio159/Unismilies/27.png

Celeron D(it's not dual core!) @ 3.33 GHz, 512KB cache, FSB 533, Transistors-125million

Celeron S @ 1.8 GHz, 512KB cahce, FSB 800, Transistors-167million


Here the Celeron S is better than Celeron D in overall performance. The 2.0Ghz Celeron S mercilessly beats the Celeron D.

Forgive me, but the Celeron D 3.33Ghz is faster than the Celeron S 1.6 Ghz, but slower than the 1.8Ghz variant.

You can easily play 720p videos. Not 1080p. Install and use KLite Mega Codec Pack or VLC Media Player.

I have a AMD athlon 64 3000+,1GB ram and Nvidia Geforce 6200.
still when i play 720p videos(*.mkv) the playback is not fully smooth and there are some jerks in some High action scenes.
So i doubt a celeron will properly play them.

btw, i use VLC to play them

@gary4gar
Check this out. People with rigs worse than yours are able to play 1080p x.264 ( ) smoothly..

@comp@ddict

Could you give me details of this new Celeron S? Is it the new celeron based on CoreTM architecture?

480p is what u can play smoothly on WMP and 720p on some other players such as VLC.
I have Intel 865 board, 2GB RAM, 2.4GHz P4,nVidia 7300GT 512MB AGP, and yet my pc starts crying while playing 1080p on Windows Media Player. , Only VLC, Media Player Classic and GOM succeeds in playing them smoothly..so u can decide accordingly.
As I prefer watching everything on WMP11, hence 480p is the only thing I download.
HD videos do not only need powerful GPU , they also need powerful CPU

You need Quick Time 7 installed.
Then the above mentioned .qtl videos will work.

Nice method.*s269.photobucket.com/albums/jj44/visio159/Unismilies/44large.png

 

[The Conqueror]

Thanks for the tip..btw would the downloaded file be required to open in quicktime or we can use any other player? also i have nVidia Pure video decoder with an nVidia ASUS EN 8600 GT 512MB DDR3 graphics card and 17" LCD Monitor. I hope this will be enough for HD movies?

 

[amrawtanshx]

^^
The file will be played in QuickTime.
And your card is good enough to play HD movies.

BTW,whats your processor ???

 

[The Conqueror]

Pentium D .. I know its outdated , but it can play all games like assassin's creed and crysis at high settings ( though i have to disable AA in crysis) at 1028Res.

 

[amrawtanshx]

^^
It can play HD videos then.
Pentiun D is fine. *s269.photobucket.com/albums/jj44/visio159/Unismilies/81.png

 

[The Conqueror]

So I dont think there is need for me to upgrade my PC, As i dont play games for graphics and this pc serves me quite well.Good enough for surfing,learning programming,video editing,little bit gaming,HD Movies.

 

[amrawtanshx]

^^
Its fine as the way u use it.
But if turning to more processor & graphics oriented stuff ... Then u need to upgrade .
