Oh really?


Wait.. is that a 1% CPU usage with GPU acceleration? No, it couldn't be!

Yes:

*
NVIDIA ION | Intel Atom 230 | 2GB - Accelerates well, stutters when enabling Shaders

nForce 730 | Core 2 Q6600 | 2 GB | GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB - Flawless playback including combined shaders
*
AMD 790 FX | Phenom 9950 | 2 GB | integrated GPU - Accelerates well, stutters when enabling Shaders
*
X58 | Core i7 965 | 6 GB | Radeon HD 4650 512MB - Flawless playback including combined shaders
(Note: by "enabling Shaders", he means to force additional post-processing through shaders like sharpening and emboss)
