[QUOTE="mycrow, post: 87799, member: 22767"] for mediaportal to work correctly, you need a card that is directX 9 compatible, which is the case for most of the cards available. If it's not for gaming, a nvidia 5200 chip and 128 MB card should do. They are pretty cheap (around 35-40 EUR), not very big and are cooled passively (so, QUIET!) . Have a look at the cards from (for example): EVGA Gigabyte MSI Club3D etc, etc.... If you want to use nvidias purevideo codecs (hardware acceleration) for digital videos you have to climb up the ladder a bit (eg. 6800 chip). However IMHO, the cost, increased heat production, increased size of the card etc outweighs the benefits of hardware accellaration. hope was able to help a bit.... [/QUOTE]
