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.
However, I can't figure out why Encrypted DVDs still play in MP. They play in Windows Media Player also (this is...

Hi,
Just switched from a NVIDIA card to the Matrox M9148. Unfortunately MediaPortal won't start anymore:
'Switching to the reference rasterizer, etc'

I'm not sure what these messages mean, according to the specs the...

THANKS! after working through that great info I was able to get the PC to recognize 5.1 and 7.1 with all the formats and frequencies I needed and then some as I forced the system to see a different receiver then what I own. I will be bookmarking that for future reference.

I checked the settings in MP and it is on ffdshow DXVA and VMR9. I also checked the cpu while playing a HD movie (x264 mkv) and it is almost 0%. Also I know when it is using the gpu, because the PIV cpu is too slow to do decent hd playback.
I have no idea why it works with VMR9 and not with EVR, but I am not complaining, it works...

That's exactly what I think as well - that's why I've left it on 8.12 all this time. I'd only go to a newer driver if there was some advantage to be had.

As far as I know, none of the current Nvidia cards support bitstreaming of HD audio formats (ie TruHD), which is the advantage of the current ATI cards (5xxx). Both cards however can decode to 8 channel LPCM, which is lossless and theoretically the exact same quality. The difference lies in whether the computer decodes or your...

You might be able to set the preferred output to VGA in your BIOS. I believe there's a setting for that on my ATI IGP motherboard, so it's worth a look.

I too have Win7 configured close but am using HDMI to my PJ. I'm running CCC 10.3 and although it always detects the HDMI input (when I switch on the A/V receiver & PJ) it's the HDMI audio - I get a popup stating something about an HDMI-to-DVI and that I have no audio device connected. So far I find a reboot is necessary to resolve...

I am running Win7 64 bit. HDTV is Sony KDL-52XBR6. Screen resolution is set to 1920x1080. Yes, I have Aero desktop is enabled.
I don't have overscan issues. How you set 1:1 pixel mapping? On my Sony, I have the Display Area set to “Full Pixel" Is that it?
Thanks,

Thanks for that info - well spotted. 'Lost' monitor problems do happen on Vista as well with the recent nVidia drivers (which are basically Win 7 drivers, so have some of the same issues).
You could also try the 'devcon rescan' workaround (see the links in my sig below) to revive 'lost' monitors.

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...

I don't run Win7 myself (I'm using Vista32), but I'd check out the DXVA capabilities of your system with DXVA Checker.
