The playback of Blu-ray Disc requires a powerful computer, such as a Dual-core or Quad-core CPU.

Some graphics cards include hardware decoding, meaning that you don’t need to use a powerful computer. When you play back Blu-ray Discs, the graphics card will share the decoding process and reduce the CPU usage.

The following is a list of the graphics cards that support hardware decoding:

Nvidia: GeForce 8000, 9000 Series
ATI: ATI Radeon HD 2000, 3000 Series
