[QUOTE="trevor, post: 170599, member: 25806"] Quick update on this. Got the new EN8600GTS card, bit of a tight fit (read case lid sits on heatsink..whole case now a heatsink!) but the news is not good. Picture quality is much the same, not a lot between the 7600 and 8600 when using std setup, EVR does make a differance when I can get it working. Bigger problem is that I can no longer change channels on the TT S2-3200 card..the change takes place but picture freezes and have to toggle TVOn to get back the channel I just changed to! Going to raise that in the TV3 support fourms when back home and have access to the logs, seems it is fine changing channel and card. Also need the very latest patch from cyberlink or you get no h/w acceleration on HD channels. The good news is that with this patch watching HD the CPU is now sitting between 5-8%, down from 40-45%. The bad news is that SD h/w acceleration is either not as good or most likley not functioning at all as the CPU is up at the 25% mark when watching SD channels from the previous 3-4%. Have not had that much time to really investigate all the issues yet so will update again after the weekend. Cheers trevor [/QUOTE]
