[QUOTE="jdrom17, post: 153957, member: 48462"] Well my Athlon XP 2800+ with NVIDIA GeForce FX5900 Ultra video card struggles to do 1080p in x264 contained in .mkv It is totally unwatchable. Assuming this card was cheap, less than a video card with similar abilities, I would probably consider getting one. However, my HTPC just gets whatever old stuff I have lying around, and it's probably going to get a hefty upgrade soon to a AMD X2 4400+, so then it probably won't struggle with 1080p. If said card does HDMI with HDCP at 1080p along with audio (perhaps DTS/DD real-time encoding as well?), then I'd still probably get it since the video card I use in my soon-to-be upgraded HTPC will be quite low-end. Probably a 7100GS or something cheap. [/QUOTE]
