[QUOTE="ghanz, post: 195985, member: 56766"] I have something to say about that. I own a NVIDIA 8800gts640, which is a very good graphic card. It was given to me so I'm not complaining, however: The nvidia driver does not allow you to clone the screen on different resolutions, which is a bitch if you own a HTPC housing with a lcd screen. dual view means you have to manually drag MP to the lcd when shutting down your big screen. another advantage a 2600ATI card would have is the ability to map hdmi sound directly from a soundcard to the graphics card. I expect that HDMI 1.3 audiocards will come on the market soon (lossless audio!). this would enable you to send 1 signal to a hdmi 1.3 reciever and truly enjoy HD high end audio! Ati off course has the universal videodecoder which wouldnot hurt either. Purevideo is a NVIDIA feature which works very well, the picture is exelent. And if NVIDIA is finally giving out a driver with the ability to clone on different resolutions, ATI would not eat the whole HTPC market on its own!:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
