Streaming (Flash) get low framerate

Post by gazza »

Hi,
New install, Win7 Home Premium. FitPC2 recomended drivers.
Streaming media using flash gets very low framerate :-(
In full screen (resolution1360x768) framerate drops to at max 10 fps.

I used to have XP Sp3 on this one and it did run smoothly (don't know the exact framerate I got then but for sure it was much better).
I was told to got to Win7 for better performance and that seem not to be the case.
CPU (in full screen) runs at 50-70%, memory still available. Still the video does not run smoth. I disabled Aero, raised priority for flash but nothing seem to help.
Anyone got suggestion what to try next (before I reinstal XP again) ?

Flash video is marginal on GMA500 as of Flash player 10.2
Note that Adobe recommends to leave Aero on to improve full screen performance.

I do not recommend an older version of Flash. Sorry if I have been misunderstood. I express my hopes that future versions of Flash and drivers will provide better performance.

Any explanation to why XP worked much better (XP prof, own install)??

Not really, my personal experience shows similar Flash performance on XP and Win7.
