Nothing to do with Asus, its who sold it to you, thats if its under 12 months old.
Replace my GT430 with?? (4 Viewers)

If you do go for an ATI card, I think the 7750 is probably a more future proof buy than the 6450. 6570 is also an option.

I've borrow a GT610 passive card. Its a bit under powered but I'll see if the sync issues go away. Hopefully it will yield some results. I have noticed straight away the green line on the Shift+1 overlay is flatter. What does the green line show?
That you are running without dropped frames and audio video are not drifting apart, starting to sound good

Definately better. Haven't seen any sync issues yet and the card actually performs reasonably well There are some more dropped frames than usual but I believe the card is a lower spec so probably to be expected. It also runs quite hot, 60c, and is right next to tuner card which also gets quite hot so that could be having something to do with it. Which is a shame because this CPU runs so cool the CPU fan is stopped half the time.
Think I'll RMA the GT430, even if they say theres nothing wrong with it and want to charge me, they can keep it, pointless me having it back.

Worst case ask for a EVGA or Gigabyte, nothing overclocked as a replacement and pay the difference.

I'm looking into buying one of those mate. Do you know if its HDMI1.4? Doesn't seem to say on Saphires website. Thinking of a 3D TV later in the year and would like to be ready for it if I do.
Thanks
Yes it is.. at least it worked perfectly for 3D for me.. both Bluray and Sky 3D.

Right before I order this.. I have sync issues again, I have now also tried HDMI video and audio (rather than HDMI + spdif) and its out of sync sometimes so I'm assuming its coming out the PC this way and not other parts of my AV setup screwing things up. It's freaking me out. Now I have a 6 core 3ghz CPU so I am guessing the CPU should be able to deal with all the decoding / deinterlacing without any performance issues.. so I would like to try this to rule out the GPU.
So my question.. what codec should I use, or what settings can I select in LAV that will force the CPU to do all the work and bypass the graphics card?

In LAV video decoder config, set Hardware Decoder to 'none' and tick the 'Enable YADIF deinterlacing' box (and select 50p/60p output mode) - that should load up the CPU nicely
