Minimum Requirements for Running
1080p on
PC:
A. The minimum requirements to play FullHD content on PC are pretty high, with a standard
Codec.
Processor: 2.4Ghz (dual core) or 3.5Ghz (single Core) processor.
Graphics: Nvidia/ATi having bare minimum 256MB Video RAM and core clock 600Mhz.
When you try to play it in a lower config PC, the video plays but is often jerky.
In most PCs, today, this will be hard to achieve since either of the two minimum requirement is not met and in some cases both. But the problem is not limited by the
Hardware, but it’s with the codec that you use.
Codecs:
Popular codecs like FFDShow, Klite pack, CCCP, and the one inbuilt in the popular VLC media player, do not make the optimal usage of the Hardware. The best one I know of, that will let you play FullHD 1080p on a basic config, is
CoreAVC.
CoreAVC (which actually includes Haali as part of its setup) is a multi-core aware AVC video decoder. It is a proven high performing Codec (in absence of GPU) that let’s you play 1080p on:
Minimum Requirements (using CoreAVC)
:
Processor: 1.5 Ghz (Dual core)
, 2.6Ghz (single core)
Graphics: Modern Intel Extreme Graphics or Nvidia or ATi with 128MB video RAM, core clock 300Mhz.
That’s like almost every PC can do it. On average, this means even a 4 year old PC can play it.
