Dxva is API for playing videos via gpu powered. it means u can play your HD videos with your GPU. so even if cpu sucks still u can play HD videos smoothly.
new generation all cards can support dxva for ati cards :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Video_Decoder
for nvidia cards:

I never use that before. When you said high definition video, you meant blue ray type of quality video? If it will work like that, it will be awesome, and I definitely going to check it out. Otherwise, I put it on consideration.

not only bluray or HDDVD medias. this is the correct list:
Bluray and hddvd medias, h264 and vc1 coded videos like mkv s mp4 s or wmv.
and SD files can be accelerated too, for example i have 640*480 mkv file. h264 coded video, and still i can use dxva. for dxva, u just simply update your video card drivers and install last k-lite codec pack with "media player classic home cinema"
This feature very important for me, cause im playing 1920*1080p videos and my cpu usage still %8-10 thx to DXVA. If your graphic cards has DXVA support please use it and look ur CPU usage. and post the results here.
