What video cards are you using in the two machines?

What gfxcard has to do with H.264 encoding or renderings?


Any modern (current generation) graphics card can offload full HD H.264 decode from the CPU, and assist in encode.

That includes modern integrated chipsets as well. Even Intel's low-power Atom chipset has full HD decode in the chipset (licensed from Imagination, so it's PowerVR 5).
