well considering i am currently running it off of a tnt2 m64 and the only thing it slows at is the interface i think i can get by with something cheaper than a matrox card (they are around 200 bucks for me :( )

To me it looks like some manufacturers are tweaking drivers specifically for ther own cards, if I do a search on the nvidia website for my gt220, and search for previous drivers 190.45 does not show up, it is just bypassed, there are driver versions either side, but not that particular one.
Also if you read the Nvidia website driver...

My ATI recommendation is
ATI HD6450 / ATI HD6570 / ATI HD7750
Cheap / Middle Road / Excellent
All should be sufficently good for 98% of users, but if your not going for lowest cost possible go for the 6570/7750.

Ok, I got the Asus AH-3450 installed. Works fine.
Windows wouldn't load a bundled driver for it. Instead of loading the old Catalyst drivers on the CD, I went to the Asus website and downloaded the v8.62 driver pack.

Hi,
The nVidia GT210 is a little underpowered. I replaced mine with a GT430 and see a massive difference.
For what it's worth, I see many people on the forums complaining about the AMD drivers. It seems that every time the drivers are updated, something goes wrong. This is why I tend to avoid AMD cards. My experience with nVidia...

Well the GT520 seems to be coping well with 1080i here no probs. Using DXVA on Windows 7 with latest drivers and Microsoft DTV DXVA decoder. Had to go with the passive Gainward version too as the Asus was unavailable, which may have been a blessing in disguise!

My PC in study room connects to AVR in living room via a 20m HDMI cable and then another 10M HDMI cable from AVR to projector. I made a shortcut to switch between the two display, and use my ios device to control the HTPC (which is even better than IR I think)

Unfortunately, it's not possible yet since we need a new video renderer that can handle the 3D Blu-ray's Frame Packing. In the mean time you can launch an external video player from MediaPortal.

That would probably fix it for me too then. But I did not have a single problem with the GT220, so I just leave it where it is. The AMD card just went into my sons first computer, no refresh rate changes needed, so no problem.

I tried putting back NVidia drivers same crash as before.
I went through a fresh Windows 10 install and the problem is gone it seems.
Looks like my Windows was crapping up really.
Admittedly I changed motherboard, CPU and RAM in January and was surprised Windows 10 survived that in the first place.
At least it kept me going for 5 months.

You cannot beat this community! So helpful. Many many thanks.
Now, how about this one? Product #N82E16814130531. Is it smarter to let them over clock it? My mother board seems pretty flexible with that stuff, but I've never done it. I think you guys have sold me on a 240 GT! I would like speed preferably. Anything that will make...

Does anyone know of a graphics card that has a hdmi output?
best regards
Thanks again for the help on this. I got the model you recommended and it's working great. I think the driver disc that came with the unit was faulty, but I was able to download drivers, and now all the 720p videos are playing smooth as silk, without any fan noise from the HTPC.

Woohoo.
Might have made progress.
I initially brought the TV as a Ex Demo. Turned out it was still in Store Mode (Resets all settings every 30 seconds)
Combination of vol button and Menu for 10 seconds reset it to std mode.
Now I should be able to run 1080p mode without reducing the resolution.
Woohoo.

Yes this is true u can do this
But if you are installing a discrete graphics card then its more than likely that you could output DVI from both outputs of the graphics card and would not need the onboard graphics at all (I know the HIS silent ATI3450 can do this) - the OP wanted to avoid this scenario if possible. Also if I were...

Yeah, try LAV Filters for MPEG2, & set the audio decoder back to MPC-MPA (SPDIF passthrough if required) or LAV. PowerDVD isn't great for our TV as it can often detect the wrong framerate & display at half rate (25 instead of 50).
Configure LAV with CUVID adaptive, 50/60p, high-quality processing (may need to turn off HQ processing...
