I disagree with mpod: Traditionally nVidia's TV-Out is worse than ATI's.

E.G. Germany's IT-magazine "C't" #6 2005 testet 18 GeForce 6600(GT). The best sample achieved only 41% of PAL-conformity _after_ tweaking.. Furthermore the Philips video decoder present on some cards does only accelerate movies with optimized software which isn't available yet. HDTV isn't accelerated at all! :twisted:
Finally they all get hotter (louder) than compareable ATI cards.

For a freaky gamer in urgent need for shader model 3 support in one specific game there is no alternative to Nvidia but in a HTPC you'll have more fun choosing ATI..
