[QUOTE="brambedkar59, post: 1042134, member: 61084"] Tested on 11400H in my TUF laptop. I used HWinfo for measuring avg. CPU package power . Try playing a YT video w/ hardware acceleration enabled vs disabled. 1. Playing [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aR-KAldshAE']4K@24 video[/URL] encoded with AV1. w/ HW acc enabled: 8 W w/ HW acc disabled: 16 W 2. Playing [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pp8e45SDxbw']4K@60 video[/URL] encoded with VP9 the results are even more conclusive: w/ HW acc enabled: 10.3 W w/ HW acc disabled: 32.2 W Edit 3: In theory it should be even worse in case of 4k@60 videos encoded with AV1 cause it is more complex codec for CPU to decode compared to 4K@60 videos encoded with VP9. Edit4: edited to make it more tidy. Edit 5: I forgot to mention I used Edge for testing. [/QUOTE]
