[QUOTE="huckster2, post: 274099, member: 75335"] I get nice HD pictures with CoreAVC too. Just a shame that I can't with PowerDVD etc. 'cos then I would be using the ATI card rather than the CPU to do the leg work. Check your CPU usage when doing HD vs SD. Then try an HD with PowerDVD (Ultra) and see the difference. Can't remember if HD looks [I]better [/I]when using PowerDVD, but switching channels eventually causes problems - problems that many have experienced with both integrated and non-integrated HD ATI cards. Worst case scenario is I buy an 8500GT (or better) and turn off the ATI card. I've tried all the Catalyst drivers (from Gigabyte and AMD) with no luck. MP works; I just have to drive the video decoding through the CPU with CoreAVC. :( [/QUOTE]
