[QUOTE="SciDoctor, post: 80323, member: 11346"] Your card is OK but limited by the need to do some DX functions in software. Your TV card is the real culprit and as it is a software card it is putting most of the strain on your cpu. Apart from a complete new system the best option would be to try an Hardware encoding TV card, this will dramaticaly reduce your cpu load by as much as 50% (ref 2ghz cpu and a range of software mpeg encoding TV cards) A new gpu would help but not by as much as the TV card upgrade. Also if you did buy a new dx9 (within your budget and MB specs ie pci only) card it would be needing an upgrade when VISTA appears next year whereas a good quality TV card with VISTA drivers already in beta stage would be a better option . Hauppage for ANALOG TV and if you ca receive DVB-T I would look at NEBULA aswell. [/QUOTE]
