I have a Sony Vaio laptop specs are:
Windows 7 64bit
Nvidia GeForce 310M
Intel Core i7 Q720 1.60Ghz 2.8Ghz(with turbo)
8gb Ram



I was just wondering why the Motion2 Ultra 1080p isn't selectable since I have four cores on my pc. I even tried using it through hdmi to my hd TV since the laptop's max res is 1600x900.

Thanks

hi and thank you for reporting problem.
This seems very strange as your cpu has 4 physical cores and HT technology.
Do you use any power saving options that may "hide" or "disable" somehow part of the cpu cores?

I kno' that I have a Core 2 Duo, but why do I need a Quad Core to run the Motion2 Ultra 1080p thing, can't they make for Dual Cores too ?

This doesn't work for me either and I have an i5 processor in my thinkpad.
The computer is set to performance mode (ie: *NOT* power-save) and yet
I cannot select 1080p ultra. For reference, I have an Intel HD graphics card
in my laptop (Thinkpad Edge E420). Perhaps something needs to be fixed in
a new version, especially since another person has this issue.

We are sorry but at the moment it requires too much processing power for dual core cpus.


Nambit: what is your core i5 cpu model?

I were just wondering, that it'd be really good if you could configure the Motion2 to utilize the GPU (+CPU), that way, it'd be lighter on the CPU and require less CPU power. Would that be possible?

It's an Intel Core i5-2410M CPU @ 2.3Ghz

Splash utilizes GPU already for video decoding
Motion2 is planned to be also optimized for CUDA and ATI Stream.

This CPU model has only 2 cores.
In version 1.11 Ultra 1080p option will be unlocked for 2&3 core CPU models.
