Choppy Videos with GPU (1080p or above)

arnuld · 2023-07-03 10:09:34

I have been facing this for a while. I get choppy video playback if use mpv --hwdec or just vlc . But it only happens for 1080p and above. If I use CPU (by removing --hwdec option) then all videos play fine. Here is the output from both the players after enabling the verbose option:
