My PowerDVD Live updated to DowerDVD17, but I can't for the life of my find Hardware Acceleration anywhere in the options.

Has hardware Acceleration been removed?

I have a Nvidia GTX1080 and notice some stutter in 3D playback and the ovrall feel isn't quite right. It seems like a few frames per second are bing dropped by the renderer as camera panning, in particular doesn't look consistent.

If there is no current HardWare acceleratioon option, can there be a ptach to enable GPU acceleration for Nvidia and Radeon cards. I wonder if only my CPU is being used to deliver my 3D picture and the Nvidia hardware only beaming it to my 3D Vision glasses.

My Drivers are the latest and are always being updated

Can someone from Cyberlink, or another Cyberlink custiomer that has experience in this firld, please give me some tips to increase performance based on the specs I will provide below

PowerDVD 17 Live and Hardware Acceleration? PowerDVD is a PLAYER. Are you thinking about PowerDirector - a video editor? Are you having issues with video playback? If so, what.

Also please learn how to run a dxdiag.exe evaluation of your computer and Attach the text file to your post where you want to have people look at your computer. Perhaps your issues is hardware related.

Sorry, this is a more educated answer regarding Hardware Accelleration in PowerDVD 17.

Go to the Home Mode page in TV Mode and select settings. Select "Video" from the drop down menu. You will see the "Hardware Acceleration" option there. .

Hi Hoover1979,

Even under PC mode you can find the hardware acceleration. Go to settings, under Video, Audio, Subtitles you will find "Enable hardware acceleration..."
