Now you should try Badaboom, boy is that fast at encoding video, Handbrake\Xvid4PSP takes 2 hrs, same video in Badaboon 30 minutes, and the CPU's don't break a sweat

Nice

First GT 220 passive are available now.

TechConnect Magazine - MSI rolling out passively-cooled GeForce GT 220

Is that the one you got ?

He Sacul,

I've got the same MB as you (integrated HD3200).
How did you're HDTV run on that MB? Was it slow and was the sound oke? I've been strugeling as well. Installed Hoborg SAF, MP wasn't crashing anymore, but still searching for the last mile ;-).

An other question, I've got a dual monitor cfg. Touchscreen in the Zalman and of course my TV.
In this setup it took me a while to get the right resolution on my TV so everything was running perfectly. I'll sometimes only run (radio or music) on my Touchscreen and would like to continue this. But then with HDTV working as well.
Do you think this will work again with installing a new graphics card?

Can you give me some feedback?

I would choose 4670 over 4650. Other cards i have no opinion on.

Hi.

For HDTV only one does not need expensive card. I have Nv 8400GS with newer G98 chip. It costs about 30€ and it has worked
with every HD channel that i've tried. Canal Digital Nordig has 11 HD channels. Only problem is Win7 Half/full screen when turn off/on tv
But i live with it.

I have all codes set to Microsoft in WIn 7.

Regards,

i disagree with above lots of users with 8400/8500 +/- 8600 having problems with HDTV 1080i in MP.

AW: Videocard upgrade for HDTV

I just bought a Sapphire Radeon 5450 and it's really perfect for HTPC usage. 1080i with Vector-adaptive deinterlacing runs fine and without stutter.

Hi Johnie.

With the onboard video I couldn't get it run. Digital TV was working fine, but when I switched to a HD channel, the videochip wasn't powerful enough. I had video and audio, but stuttering and Out of Sync. After installing the GT220, I have no problems.
Nederland 1,2,3, Eurosport HD, Sport1 HD working all fine
