[QUOTE="Brijn, post: 35789, member: 13180"] Hi, Until now I was going to get a passively cooled Nvidia card that support PureVideo so that I would get smooth playback etc. But now I read this article where they compare Ati and Nvidia (Avivo vs PureVideo): [url]http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,1916994,00.asp[/url] The Ati technology is superior to Nvidia (and you save the purchase of the separate codec). The card I was looking at was the ASUS EN6600 SILENCER GEFORCE PCX6600 PCI-E 256MB, [url]http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=15500[/url], CA$ 154 It's not so easy to find a list of cards supported by Avivo (if anyone has a link!) but it seems the Radeon X1300 is supported. A similar passively cooled card is the Sapphire Radeon X1300 256MB 128BIT DDR2 PCI-E, [url]http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=16743&vpn=SP-X1300256&manufacture=SAPPHIRE[/url], CA$ 121 So, if i'm correct, I get better quality for a lower price by going with the Ati? Any remarks [/QUOTE]
