[QUOTE="jsimo01, post: 297203, member: 68460"] Hello, I would like to seek some advice on Graphics Cards for My HTPC. I am looking for one capable of decoding HD content preferably also with HDCP (of which I have found plenty!) but it needs to be fairly quiet, I have no way of knowing from the manufacturers page what the noise output would be hence me asking everyone here. I have tried the HD4870 (which I purchased for my Gaming PC) but although relatively quiet puts out a lot of heat and also an NVidia 8600GT which sounded like a tornado was tearing through my case ripping up small homesteads, villagers and all! My onboard graphics (Intel G35) is quite satisfactory at present but I would like to add a little bit of muscle just in case. Thanks in advance, John Case: Antec Fusion 430 (Silver) MOBO: ASUS P5E- VM HDMI Memory: Corsair 4.0GB TV Card: Technotrend S2-3200 + CI LG HD DVD/BD ROM drive Vista Home Premium 64-bit OS Media Portal RC2 (Singleseat) [/QUOTE]
