Always need to restart MP resuming from standby with newer Nvidia cards or chipset? (1 Viewer)

[dalbi]

I know that nvidia card have some problem resuming from stanby: actually i've Nvidia 7150 (geforce4 chipset) and every time I have to restarting MP or rebooting bringing out from stanby to work fine!
The newer Nvidia cards or chipset still have this problems? Is better to buy other brand like Ati? thanks!

There are currently many issues with ATi, so a switch is not recommended the way I see it.

There is an option to restart MP on resume, found in Config. -> General.

Also, I believe MCE Standby Tool has a workaround for this.

Well there are enough issues with Nvidia as well. General consens - if one is unhappy with his current card he might not be happier with the other one...

Never read any complaints about Intel X4500 (anyone using that?). I know X3100 had its faults.
(Nobody complained about VIA either, but nobody is probably using it )

I would stick with Nvidia and use the driver supplied with the card, rather than Nvidia.com.

I know i cannot run the 178.24 driver myself, previous one fine, even redownloaded it and still gave me problems.

I know that the Nvidia 9300 could be a new good chipset for HTPCs (in a single chip!) better than X4500 ( Intel G45)and previous...I really hope that it will not have the same problems!

Yep, the 9300\9400 (very little difference apparently) are meant to be storming htpc designed chips, but again i think a lot has to do with the individual motherboard manufacturer to get things right here.

Motherboard manufacturers hmmm, theres a idea for a poll, sorry thinking out loud and went off topic.
