Choppy 4k playback on VLC 3.0.1
Posted: 17 Mar 2018 17:51
Hey everyone,
I've been looking forward to VLC 3.0 for a long time now, as I thought it would solve the problems I had with playing 4k content on VLC 2.x. However, although the playback is less choppy, it still looks awful, and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Currently, I'm running on default settings, and am getting the following messages when trying to playback content (verbosity is set to 1):
CPU: 2xXeon E5-2667v4
RAM: 256GBs DDR4-2400
GPU: RX Vega 64 Liquid
Hard drive where video files are located: Samsung 850 PRO 2TB
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Given those specifications, there's no reason why my hardware wouldn't be able to play this media. I've already tried setting VLC to Realtime priority, and am not running anything else that would consume a large amount of resources, so I'm assuming I have to modify my settings somehow. This happens on all 4k media I try to play, so it's not an issue with any given file.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
