[QUOTE="KevL, post: 394296, member: 11798"] I recently upgraded from onboard HD3200 to an ATI HD4550 (silent, fanless) with 512MB GDDR3. Now have really good playback using Cyberlink PDVD8. Smooth playback on SD and HD formats. Best picture I have ever managed. No stutter or judder on slow pans etc, moving text is rendered without problems and sound is perfectly in sync. Couldnt quite manage that using the onboard HD3200. Well worth £40 or so. Card heatsink does run very warm - though I guess it is supposed to. I thought about getting a much more expensive fanless HD4670. It is a two slot card and would be OK for gentle games - I suspect the 4550 would not do even gentle games but is fine for video playback. Kev [/QUOTE]
