Moving onto our Blu-ray playback testing, where we measured the CPU utilization while running a Blu-ray movie. All the boards here did extremely well, with the CPU mostly idling at less than 10%. Although the NVIDIA solution had slightly higher rates here, it was not significantly worse off than the AMD chipsets and effectively produced a similar, smooth and lag-free playback.

As for the AMD 785G, having the latest version 2.0 of the Universal Video Decoder, with full hardware acceleration appeared to have minimal effect on our tests, since the AMD 780G which is on version 1.0 had the same low CPU utilization.
