Hardware Acceleration: how your setup is performing?

[technet]

I would like to know how how much improvement are you getting on your systems with hardware acceleration enabled.

Here I have 4 ip cameras on 1920x1080p at 15fps on a i7 4770, 32Gb, Windows 10. The mobile app on Android, with no movement on the cameras, shows about 19% to 24% of CPU, and no other tasks are running (as possible).

On BIOS setup we always have a setting on how much memory will be dedicated to the GPU. Setting this to higher levels would be better or it doesn't make a difference?

Do you believe or have more info about room for future improvements on hardware acceleration? Today, it seems to make little difference.

I have tried this before, and it didn't appear to make any difference.

It made a huge difference for my i7-3770k system. Back when I installed it the first time, my CPU usage (BI in service mode, using direct to disk recording) was 35-41% and it dropped to 11-15% when enabling hardware acceleration. Part of the trick to seeing a large decrease in CPU usage is already having CPU usage optimized in all the other ways.
