hi guys i want to know does a very cheap htpc card like

8400 gs/g210/3450/4350/5450 really accelerates 1080p mkv files with avg bit rate of 15 to 25 mbps with h.264//vc-1//mpeg2 codecs??

i mean with latest drivers and support will the cpu usage be around 30% max? i have quad core Q9400 for mw and Ph II X4 945 in my parents pc i really want a very cheap card to enjoy the 1080p mkv in my vacation please suggest me some

i dont have aa hdmi tv in my house

nvidia g210/g220/gt240 i heard that they are better decoders than 5000 series i might be wrong but they support vp4

yes

hey guys i am having trouble with dxva with my ati mobility 5650 using latest drivers and directx i run mpc-hc for my mkv files somes files are using dxva some are not now using same settings when i run all mkvs in my super old 8600m gt it can do dxva

so whats wrong with ati? is nvidia better than ati for htpc?

so now nvidia low end is better right even for pq i dont need bit stream g210 ddr2 will it be good?

i am really surprised my old 8600m gt had vp2 and mobility 5650 had uvd2 still vp2 shines g 210 has vp4

i will not do post process or sharpening

hello guys can u please recommend me the cheapest 720p/1080p led, lcd or plasma (32/37 inches) any brand
