I have the opposite experience. Font rendering in Chinese seldom work, and dragging the slider of a large MP4 or MKV video results in noticeable lag. I have since abandoned it.

Not to mention the color balance is noticeably off for Nvidia graphics cards - and no amount of trying to rebalance them ever quite gets it "right". I also prefer my video player to let me know if a video file is corrupted rather than attempt to play it anyways. I find that to be a bug, not a feature.
