AMD C-50 Benchmarks, Gaming & Video Playback Testing

finally…will be looking out for your in-depth review

Are you really sure that it cannot handle 720p mkv file? I use Acer Aspire One 521 which use AMD V105 + integrated ATI Radeon HD 4225 GPU (i.e. predecessor of Ontarion chip) with 2GB ram, it can play 720p mkv file almost flawless using VLC or Media Player Classic.

I think it is depend on which video player program, as some video player program might not be able to utilise all capbility of he CPU+GPU or APU.

INVALID BENCHMARK!. Your using 3dmark 06 this version uses physx a poorly designed physics system that is proprietary to nvidia gpus. It’ll literally cuts your AMD + ATI scores in half. So the performance is actually far better than the Intel + ION netbook combination. I hate you idiots who do not give fair and valid benchmarks. Use vantage dummies or even the other benchmarks out there.

Which player did you used for play the 720p/1080p files?. I’m pretty sure that the C-50 can handled this kind of content.

i think it’s a good a idea repeat the benchmarks

QuickTime is the crappiest player ever. Use some DXVA enabled player for HD video playback and the c50 won’t disappoint. MPC-HC or VLC are free and are WAY better than CrapTime(tm).

Is this better then Intel N570

I bought the Acer C50 to play movies while in bed ,so far so good . I also wanted to watch TV but I found out ( at a loss) that the graphic decoding  was not fast enough to handle a USB TV Tuner streaming signal .

I would say the bigger question is why get the C-50/60 at all when often you can get the E-350 at nearly or even the same price and the specs are MUCH better, 8gb RAM limit instead of 4Gb, 500MHz GPU instead of 280Mhz, 1.6GHz CPU instead of 1GHz (1.33GHz on the C60 with turbo enabled).

 I had the Athlon II MSI Wind and after seeing my customer’s E-350s and how they performed I sold it for a EEE E-350 and I just love it to death! unlike with the C50 there was not a SINGLE dropped frame, even when i had other things going, I get 6 hours on the battery, having 8gb in Win 7 HP really gives the OS room to fly, it is just a wonderful little unit. If they were selling the C50s at $200 I could see it, but most of the C50/60 units I see are $299 and for the same price you can often upgrade and get the E-350.

Never trust a woman to review any electrical product.
