4k High CPU and studder, Plays fine in browser

Setting HWAmode to 4 and HWAresolution to -1, it seems to work

So I've tested playing various HEVC files. One thing is for sure. The 10bit files use all of my GPU, by that I mean bandwidth. But the rest only use about half. These are all 1080p. I can only imagine what it takes to process a 4K 10bit file. I would suggest that those people with low power GPU/CPUs, stay away from 10bit HEVC.

Well, I don't know what to say about this. I've got my i7 7700k (I realize this is strong CPU) and new mobo installed and running. Testing playback of the same 1080p 10bit files I used in previous testing, it utilizes almost nothing of the GPU or CPU. I can see that the GPU memory usage doubles, but the clock speed barely changes, GPU load is 5%. So I thought maybe it's letting the CPU do all the work. Using two different hardware monitors, the CPU is using 2%, lol. This was with WMP. With theater, the results aren't much different. CPU runs about 7% and GPU is up to about 13%, which is the same when you stop playing the movie. So I figure the app itself is using that. 

 

Same results using VLC.

 

So it's hard to tell if Kaby Lake is just that good, or LAV just hasn't caught up.

Is it possible to know details so the web client can watch a 4K movie?

Example, I would like to know which videos in 4K that the web client will succeed to watch, like h265 8bit etc.

I doubt that any browser is capable of playing anything 4k or HEVC. I think you'll find that the server will transcode it.

4k h264 should be fine in the browser.

Fact, H264 runs well. I failed to quit referring to the H265 10bit.
