In a previous post some day ago we have reported “the high utilization bar of MPEG2 decoding still shows us this GeForce 8200 is not a 100% decoding solution. We hope it is only a ES issue, they can fix the problem when it finally hits the market.”

And this time we managed to run the same HD video test on GeForce 8300, (or you can call it MCP78U). GeForce 8300 is a upgrade version of GeForce 8200, have a higher Shader clock(up to 1500MHz), and better GeForce Boost performance.

The mobo we ran is another ES, so the final number may differ from retail version. We find out the GeForce 8300 have some improvements of HD video playback, read the pic for details.

So, the number is decent, but still not perfect. However NVIDIA kept their words this time.
