[QUOTE="jcee, post: 155828, member: 10506"] I really do not see what the advantage in a dedicated gfx board is. Should one not be as good off with onborad gfx? Reasons why: I got me a Nvidia 7600GS where I intended to use pure video and hardware acceleration, but first I cannot use PV, so there is no hardware acceleration, second FFdshow give you a good picture quality boost when used. But this is done in CPU rather that GPU. DX9c is used by MP to render the screen, but it is not rendering 100s of objects, nor is it using reflections, particles and other fancy DX stuff... Furthermore framerates above 50hz (Europe) do not make sense. So actually what is really the sense and incentive having a dedicated card instead of using a good onboard - lets say 6150. (You might say DVI/HDMI connector, but there already mainboard around) I would like to get rid of a gfx card that does not give me much more than additional heat and power consumption.. Especially as it seems to be run in almost idle mode... Seems somehow to breaking a fly on the wheel?! Isnt it? (I came to these thoughts, when concidering building me a thin client for MP, and looking at Apple TV and Macmini/Elgator/EyeTV. They seem to run fine with integrated gfx and the GUI is slight and has fluid animations..) [/QUOTE]
