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...

Hi,
just installed the Asus EAH4350 card into my HTPC. Works excellent, supports HDCP codes via DVI to my Benq DVI Flatscreen.
No fan, just silent.
Paid 25€ here in Munich :-)

no, for me it is not visible, even if I am logged in. Maybe you have to enable it. Do you see it yourself? I can see my own "My System".

All old nvidia cads can send sound through hdmi cable but only SPDIF because they was connected to sound card through SPDIF cable.
New cards like GT240 or GT220 supports direct sound transfer(no need spdif cable) and supports more bandwidth sound streams it that way.

I run with a EVGA 8400GS 521mb PCI version, and so far OK. Not tried it on HD output yet (still have a SD TV) so can't advise on if there are issues with the higher resolutions.

Yep, even ran that online checker as well. All the docs say it should work. but it doesnt, and the support for this software wont respond to emails. so much for customer service!

As far as I can recall, Swede's hack was a patched texture cache file. Once the SVNs got the option (only through editing the xml file) of not caching all the textures, Swede's hack was no longer needed.
The setting is off by default still. You have to edit the xml.

My Gigabyte Nvidia 6600GT card has just failed, I think it's a video card memory problem. Anyway I'm looking for a new AGP video card with S-Video output and wonder what advice you can give.

Is it fast enough to play 720p mkv's in MEPO? Now I use an old radeon 7000, which surprisingly works quite well in MEPO, but every time I play mkv with MEPO it gets terribly out of sync. The system is fast enough to decode mkv's since it plays them very well with MPC. I'm asking about fx5200 because they are cheap and it's very hard...

The 3650 was given to me. as the HTPC is strictly media play back (I have a small monster for games) I was trying to decide if there was going to be a substantial difference between my old 2600pro and the 3650. well I tossed it in and updated drivers and it turned out to be a 512mb version and not the 256, nice surprise for me. It ran...

just replaced an nvidia 8500 with ATI HD 4350 OC. Plays HD MKV's fine as far as I can tell, with DXVA enabled (using MP and SAF 3.47). Not seen what the last issues were though!

If anyone could test if hd mkvs are working again in MediaPortal with Catalyst 9.9 that would be nice.. :]
Thanks for the advice. I ended up buying a HD 4350 OC (factory overclocked to 650mhz), and its working fine for me so far. Much smaller card, and seems to run cooler than the old Nvidia. Works fine on DXVA up to 1080p. Not tried a blu ray yet, but I'm pretty confident it'll be fine. Not found any interlaced material to test yet.

I agree with that comparison very much so... not a lot of bs being thrown around at all. I myself go the discrete route with an HD 4670, they recommend an HD 4650 but I and many others have had issues with it handling advanced postprocessing such as deinterlacing. I am extremely happy so far and with 24p just about fixed in...

Hi All,
I tried 9.8 for a couple of days, but found it really messed with playback of just about everything (bluray, mkv & live tv).
I had low FPS, dropped frames and lots of jitter. Was a major step backwards for me, so reverted back to 9.6
Now back to an 'almost' happy stage.
Cheers
Si

will one of these recomended cards above help me play my 720p and 1080i movies? I recently added a used computer to my son's room.

Yes, I did
Not yet....I'm currently in a 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' phase :)
The BSODs I got with 186.18 were really nasty - it would BSOD on resume and then BSOD again on the reboot (after which it would be OK until the next resume) - I reached for the system restore button pretty quickly !
