I had an ATI 3650 in my HTPC and playback was okay. Not great by any means. I tried an nVidia 8600gt and the difference is very noticeable. And it's cheaper too.
I use the Cyberlink 8 codecs and ffdshow with excellant results. The BluRay and HD playback excellant as well.
Also, with the 3650 I could only get 1024x768 resolution on my 60" monitor(looked really weird).
With the nVidia the full 1920x1080 is available. Using 1200x1024 with large fonts for ease of use.
