[QUOTE="frenzy, post: 334406, member: 73633"] I've had some hands on experience with a ati4670, a Geforce 9500GT and a Geforce 8400gs. 1) I think right now overscan is better dealt with, through ati drivers. 2) MP does work better with the nvidia drivers. Since I moved to the 4670 from the 9500GT I've had about 20 hours of tweaking to overcome some issues. However now it's pretty stable. 3)About HD decoding and keeping your system cool. Buy a good cooler and you 'll be fine. CPUs were manufactured to be used and so were the rest of the components. Besides you're gaming. If you'll be using subtitles forget DXVA. If you 'll be downloading HD content forget DXVA in at least 30% of the cases. So better be prepared for full cpu decoding. 4) Both IGPs will suck at gaming. Now from personal experience, I have to say that the picture is better with the ati card. Since 8.11 I don't have the atikmdag bug (maybe just me? I didn't check the forums). Both Nvidia cards worked out of the box with MP but with the ATI I had some problems that took some time to fix. [/QUOTE]
