[QUOTE="Owlsroost, post: 394606, member: 83973"] Going to a 4850 (unless game playing is important) would be overkill - 4650 (or maybe a 4550) would be just as good for video use. The big picture quality improvement versus the 3450 is vector-adaptive deinterlacing support for 720i/1080i HD - the 3450 can only do 'bob' deinterlacing for HD. If you never watch interlaced HD material then this isn't relevant. The 4xxx series have support for 8 channel PCM sound over HDMI - it's only of interest if you have a HT receiver capable of handling this. For ordinary AC3/DTS/stereo PCM there's no real advantage for HDMI versus optical/coax SPDIF, other than saving a cable. Couldn't agree more - I went from an HD3450 to a 9500GT.....:) Tony [/QUOTE]
