Video Rendering

So after all these canned results and and percentage differences what is the impact on the real-world applications. Well this system was primarily designed to serve in HTPC applications for watching surfing the internet and watching movies. It was also designed to have the ability to render HD 1080p content on a television set. For this I decided to use 1080p and 720p “Hot Tub Time Machine” trailers and render those using Shark 007 codec pack on Windows Media Player installed on the computer. The test were done on a 60 second samples and the results were recoded below.

1080p Sequential

Even through the action scenes at 1080p resolution, the Next-Generation ION performed extremely well. The lowest FPS at any one time was recorded just below 58 FPS mark. This means that you will be able to get smooth video even at 1080p resolution.

1080p Random Seek

The random seek test was comprised of me selecting random positions throughout the clip and recording the frame rate drop/recovery after each skip. I was delighted to find out that in most times the recovery was extremely smooth and rarely dipped below 30 FPS and never below 24 FPS (at which it would become notable)

720p Sequential

Having mastered both 1080p tests, I’ve decided to run the 720p test. Similarly to 1080p, the Next-Generation ION did not go below 58 FPS at any one part of the sample. The patter at which the peaks/recesses in frame rates designate action scenes within the sample.

720p Random Seek

The 720p random seek did not dip below the 30 FPS mark through out the entire length of the sample. This simply means that random seeks at 720p will not affect the rendering frame rates of the platform.

Windows Score

So what does Windows have to say about all of this? Well the system gets an overall score of 3.5 which is incredibly not limited by the graphics performance but by the CPU. As you can tell from the picture, the performances of the graphics in gaming is 5.5 and the performance using Aero is 4.6 both of which are definitely more than enough to render a couple of HD flix or surf the internet.
