Faster fps in Quicktime?

[G5Unit]

I have a single 1.8ghz g5(1.25gb ram, X80XT). What fps should I be getting on 1920 by 1080 movies in H.264? I am only getting around 15 to 20. I already know there is a site on apple.com that tells you what you should be getting but my upgraded graphics card didn't improve framerate at all.

I don't think QuickTime is accelerated by your graphics card. Perhaps when ATI sort out their H264 hardware decoding drivers which may support your card (they keep saying it will, then it won't) you'll see some improvement.
