[mythtv-users] Video cards that can smoothly handle HD displaying without tearing

Load is reasonable. What Nvidia video card? I've previously written here of a very similar tearing (I described it as shimmering) issue with my 6200 TC, and am very curious to hear of those who *aren't* seeing such issues with HD content. I have read elsewhere that a 6600GT is just fast enough to handle the displaying; it's also possible that a 5200 (which, I understand, has some hardware overlay features that the 6xxx-series cards don't support with current Linux drivers) would also work well in such a scenario, but I don't know. (If that's true, I'd also be curious about whether the $50-70 PCX 5300--the only 5200-like solution that would work on my PCI Express setup--would be a suitable modern replacement. Since I don't intend to play modern games on my MythTV box I'd rather go that route than pay $130 for a 6600GT.) -- Yeechang Lee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | +1 650 776 7763 | San Francisco CA US ___ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users

Do you mean video card or TV Capture card? Both are important. Everyone seems to like the Hauppauge cards as they have hardware decoders so don't use the system CPU for encoding tv capture. That's important if you don't have a fast CPU. I don't think the 250s have a TV-Out so you'd also need a video card with TV-Out. Cards with nVidia chips are generally good and lots of people use them so there's good support here for them. ___ mythtv-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
[mythtv-users] Video Cards
I am building my new HTPC with MythTV, and want to know what impact video cards have on the system. This system will not have a monitor permantanly attached, it will be viewed on teh TV only (I will have the monitor for setup only). Because of this, does the WinTV-250 or other part of the MythTV system use the video card for processing? Will any card do, or do I need a good video card?
