When to use CPU or GPU acceleration?

Post by edlee »

My server runs a sandy bridge e3-1235 4c/8t cpu (similar to i7-2600), and on board intel hd 3000 graphics.

In my case will there be any advantage to gpu acceleration in video settings and/or avisynth settings?

I dont have any issues with speed or stuttering, just wondering if I have anything to gain in terms of quality with gpu acceleration?

And, thank you for creating the best dlna server. I had been on ps3ms years ago, but switched to serviio because of the bugs, but now I could not be happier with UMS.

Thanks a lot for the compliments, they made my day! There's no quality difference with GPU-acceleration :)
