I tried VLC and MPV. VLC doesn't seem to have HEVC hardware acceleration support, and I couldn't find settings option in MPV. I even tried using an old GTX 280 instead of onboard GPU and even that didn't make a difference.
Does anyone have a solution for HEVC playback on elementaryOS? It's choppy and laggy on a g4400 with onboard graphics. On windows, it barely touches 10% usage on POT player.
While updating the driver manually, uncheck "show compatible hardware", then under Microsoft, Select the "USB RNDIS6 Adapter". Faced the same issue a while back and this fixed it.
The lack of Google drive client and no hardware acceleration for HEVC is the reason why I always go back to windows.
I faced the same issue. It started working after running "sudo apt-get update " and "sudo apt-get upgrade".
I agree with you. I was just pointing out that setting up labs for CCNA using packet tracer or GNS3 uses far less processing power than running multiple VM's. My 2500K struggled while I was running simple active directory labs. I should have phrased my above post better.
