Help!My VLC Can't play 1080p Videos; lagging & freezing

[IamSAM]

Hi there,
First of all, thanks for letting us using VLC for free. I am having a problem though regarding playing 1080p videos on VLC 3.0.8 it's getting freeze/blurred/choppy.
How can I fix this? I've already tried a few solutions like
1. Increase Cache Values
2. Change Video Output Settings
3. FFmpeg Loop Filter Skipping
4. Hardware decoding
5.Power options
None of these works with HEVC H.265 file but before switching to windos10 I hadn't any problem playing these same videos from the same pc. So what should I do now? How can I fix this?
I am using Windows 10 pro 64bit (can't change this) My pc configuration is not good 3gb RAM, Pentium dual-core CPU E5400 @ 2.70GHz, No external graphics card. But when I was using win8 I hadn't any problem so I suppose there is nothing to do with the config? Unless it does. I have also tried few other players like pot &sm they can play these video but lag too much in short not watchable. So How can I solve this? Please help me out.

Thanks in advance
Best Regards
Sam

Hello Sam,

your Computer has an elderly Hardware Configuration with 3GB RAM and Dual-Core Pentium CPU E5400 @ 2.70 GHz.
CPU Benchmark:
- https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu_lookup.php?cpu=Intel+Pentium+E5400+%40+2.70GHz&id=1099

Windows 10 needs more powerfull Computer-Hardware, than Windows 7.
-> You can try to increase the built in 3 GB RAM to 4 or 8 GB.

Please have a look in the Taskmanager [Strg] + [Shift] + [Esc] for the Performance Indicators.

Or try to install a Linux-Operating System for the elderly Computer Hardware.

Kind regards.

HEVC is very CPU demanding, especially at high resolutions.
You need a graphics card which supports HEVC hardware decoding.

Yea I know my configuration too old I can't even use good software for video editing not only that can't even install the latest version of what I am using now. But when I bought this pc 2.70GHz was the latest version for my budget and I wasn't into any heavy work like editing and other stuff so it was good enough at that time lol.
Since I can't upgrade now I guess Online streaming is the only solution.

Anyway, Thank you and others who were kind enough to reply. Have a good day. (y)
