[QUOTE="James, post: 833828, member: 12681"] After years of service my 8500GT has died and needs replacing. I'm looking at the GT430 or GT520. Geforce GT 520 * 810 MHz core clock * winner * 1620 MHz shader clock * winner * 1400 MHz memory clock * 14.4 GB/s bandwidth * 64-bit memory interface * 48 CUDA cores * max power use- 29 watts * winner Geforce GT 430 * 700 MHz core clock * 1400 MHz shader clock * 1400-1800 MHz memory clock * winner * 22.4 – 28.8 GB/s bandwidth * winner * 128-bit memory interface * winner * 96 CUDA Cores * winner * max power use- 49 watts There is a lot advice recommending the GT430 for HTPCs. Including anandtech ([url=http://www.anandtech.com/show/4380/discrete-htpc-gpus-shootout/11]AnandTech - Discrete HTPC GPU Shootout[/url]) However, there are two things going for the 520. 1) it has lower power use and 2) its cheaper (only about 65% of the 430 price here). I'm considering these two cards: 430: ASUS ENGT430 DC SL/DI/1GD3 520: GIGABYTE GV-N520SL-1GI I'm not doing anything fancy, just normal HTPC stuff (HD video file playback etc). So, I don't think I will miss the extra power of the 430? Suggestions, comments, recommendations? [/QUOTE]
