QUOTE(welwitchia @ Feb 16 2010, 10:14 PM) I might be wrong on this one but if your main concern is bitstreaming Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA, the ATI 5 series cards are a safer bet. Hmm... I did a simple Google for u. Looks like the Nvidia GTX 260 is out of the question. Edit : Wait, the article at anandtech is OLD. Almost 2 year old. Are we looking at the same card here? If it is, why buy a 2 year old graphics card? Source : http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3334I'm also seaching right now before i make decision,actually my pc is gaming rig 3k,so i get good offer for gtx 260 for rm500(2 month old),new price about rm650 and it perform very good for games.so i just use my pc as htpc for lag 1080p mkv and bmdv.wdtv 1 is good for most mkv and i'll upgrade media player later maybe forth generation,hopefully that time media player is cheaper and can play all mkvs,bmdv & bdiso without problem not like now.If gtx 260 can't support true hd,dts hd. i'll buy new ati 5610/5750 for my games & some mkv,bmdv
