Question

hardware acceleration doesn´t work with 6-core CPU?

Hi,

i´ve upgraded recently my PC to a Phenom X6 6-core CPU and i have encountered a major problem with the Flash player since then.

For example, Youtube HD videos don´t get scaled correctly when watched in fullscreen mode but instead the standard-view gets resized to my screen resolution without scaling

The result looks like this.

I am pretty sure that even though i activated hardware-acceleration only software-acceleration is used to scale the videos. There seems to be a conflict between the 6-core CPU and the Flash player. I noticed that some software doesn´t work properly with the rather new 6-core CPU´s and it´s probably the same case with Flash player. I think it doesn´t recognize the CPU and switches automatically into software-scaling.

I already re-installed Flash Player several times and tried out several AMD Catalyst drivers for my graphic card. No results.

Any help is appreciated.

My system specs are:

Win XP Professional SP3, latest Flash Player version, latest AMD catalyst, AMD Phenom X6 CPU, AMD HD6850 GPU.

    Have you tried to disable hardware acceleration?

    Are your video card drivers up to date?

    Yes,  i already updated my graphic card drivers several times.

    There is no difference between running with or without hardware acceleration which supports my assumption that hardware acceleration doesn´t work, i guess.

    The results are exactly the same

    .

    I´m running:

    Win XP Professional SP3 32Bit

    Firefox 3.6.16

    Flash Player version 10,2,153,1

    ÁMD Catalyst 11.3

    I am on the official Adobe forums, so why doesn´t anyone answer to my problem caused by your Adobe software. It´s not like i can switch to an alternative product. I´m stuck.
