Thanks for the info.
You're right a GTX980 / 960 is really an overkill for a htpc. For my content an Intel hd4000/hd4600 is enough but I also plan to play BluRay-Iso's with a very good video quality.
A GT720 may be good choice but also good like a GT630 mentioned in the first thread here?
I don't plan to go the 4k-way. For me just a marketing gag nothing more. Maybe in 10 years we can talk about it.
@fritsch:
I read some posts from you where you recommend GT610. On ebay I can found many of them (used ones). Would this card also be a good choice (for good video quality) and if yes which producer you can recommend (Asus or Zotac or...)?
Thanks in advance

Perhaps there was a language barrier: Intel HD4600 is far enough for every bluray raw content you have - no need for a GT 720.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Ok, thanks. I see but for Linux the support for nvidia is better than for Intel. As long as I know from some readings months ago. That's why I want go the nvidia way

Yep - Intel has excellent support in Linux now. Few limitations remain with Intel to do with VC-1 Interlaced (not an issue for many, but can be for some Blu-rays of TV or concerts), and potentially nVidia deinterlacing a bit better (more frames available for temporal/spatial deinterlace on nVidia?) ? On the other hand Intel looks to be getting HEVC decode ahead of nVidia at the lower end?

Spotted typo in my previous post. Now edited. Intel likely to be ahead of nVidia with HEVC support in Linux.
