Has anyone used 266.58 and watched movies in PowerDVD 10? When I watch Blu-Rays in it with this driver set, there's a lot of pausing and stuttering with the Nvidia PureVideo option enabled. Disabling it and just enabling TrueTheatre with Nvidia CUDA fixes it, but the image is slightly less sharper.
I'll try re-installing or something. | My System Specs |
