[QUOTE="revs, post: 290125, member: 42810"] I recently purchased the same Saphire HD 3450, mainly for HD decoding. At first I was quite dissapointed as I had some driver issues, and SD content looked terrible. Luckily after a bit of fiddling and registry tweaks the picture now looks really good - i've even turned off ffdshow and all that extra complication! I'm not sure if i'd buy it again, possibly. I guess now its woking, its working really well. I havent noticed any heat issue, and have been happy with the deinterlacing so far. As its all working, I think i'll stop looking so hard at the quality. I sometimes with I didnt understand refresh rates, judder, deinterlacing etc.. it just spoils films and tv, as i spend more time analysing the image than I do enjoing whats on!!! EDIT: I have spdif out, so the lack of HDMI is not a problem. I use a DVI to HDMI cable. At the end of the day it was £30 and is a huge improvement on my old NVidia 6600GT. Not having to bother with ffdshow and other tweaks is great. [/QUOTE]
