Add a new videocard to an EPIA may help? (1 Viewer)

[alestes]

Hello, I have an Epia M10000 and a DVB-T cinergy T2.
I see that using intervideo or Cyberlink decoder it goes close to have a smooth TV view, just some stutter.
Do you think that adding a PCI card like ATi radeon 7000, 9550 or a Geforce 5200 may help it ?
I don't wanna buy one of these cards and then found it's unuseful
Thanks for any reply!

Hi,

a DX9 capeable card will help alot, i think!

The stutter could also have its reason in the DVB-T card, but I know that the onBoard graphics of the Epia is not good at all.

I would go for a ATi Radeon 9550 or GeForce 6200 in your case.

Don't those EPIA boards (and most of the small form factor boards) have UMA for their onboard video? I wouldn't expect them to do very well with an application like this.
