[QUOTE="drealit, post: 382310, member: 70031"] Definitely not true when it comes to SD material... there's many many resources online documenting this: here's one recent and reputable article that covered the majority of chipsets available today [url=http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/display/media-playback_6.html#sect0]High-Definition PC Experience: Graphics Cards vs. High-Definition Video Playback (page 6) - X-bit labs[/url] . It doesn't directly cover the HD 3200 but it does the HD 3300 which is used with the 790G chipsets aka an upgrade to the HD 3200 and 780G's. I mentioned the HD 4550, HD 4670, and HD 4650... I said that I personally have the HD 4670 and am very happy with it not that he should get exactly what I did. Him getting a 740G + a HD 4550 discrete card will be a vast improvement over the 780G and won't cost him much more at all not to mention power consumption will be extremely low with the HD 4550. I mentioned that I had the 780G and I have upgraded to a HD 4670 discrete card... the difference is night and day. If you don't believe me go google the many different sources regarding the 780G and its poor SD processing... not to mention the gold mine of information and recommendations that the [URL="http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/forumdisplay.php?f=26/"]AVS forums[/URL] provide. I don't know where you read/heard that the HD 3200 and HD 46xx series are exactly the same in terms of processing video content because it just isn't true. [/QUOTE]
