[QUOTE="mPod, post: 72210, member: 11199"] If a card is not DirectX 9 compatible, a lot of rendering and video stuff will be done by your [B]C[/B]PU (main processor). Depending on your [B]C[/B]PU it will always work at quite a high level. If you get a DX9 card, all is done in the [B]G[/B]PU (the graphics card). Whatever will be rendered & displayed, your [B]C[/B]PU will be low at about 3%. This gives more processing power to other stuff, e.g. plugins, background processes, etc. Also a DX9 card usually produces a better video image, but that depends on the codecs you use. Best choice would be a recent NVIDIA card (7xxx, depending on your budget) in combination with the PureVideo codec. [/QUOTE]
