mr.sparkle Wrote:You're not convinced about an NVidia card because one ATi card was better than anotheri'm still not convince because i tried the gt430 on the same e7200 too. the hd6570 is the more stable one. i know hd6570 is slightly more powerful, but the price wise is not that much different. i have no beef again any brand because i own two ati cards and two nvidia cards. for the same price range, i preferred ati!?
Any GT210 will slice any 2D video like butter, I assure you.

I have picked out of my 1300 HD movies the ones that best represent the different encodings I have seen on the internet.when you're ready to test, you can try the latest thor bd in 1080p with 7.1 dts-hd, 3:10 to yuma bd in 1080p with 7.1 lpcm and transformers: dark of the moon bd in 1080p with 7.1 truehd. if you can, try it with iso and index.bdmv!
poofyhairguy Wrote:I will have to replace every Nvidia card in the house if that is the case. It will be like when I discovered SSDs all over again...the rule of thumb- if you like it as is and it doesn't broke, why replace it? but, if you have the money- why not!

CpTHOOK Wrote:Great looking card Blu, but i think fanless was the request! Still looking for fanless with a smaller heatsink. If i find one, I'll put the HIS on E-Bay. The large heatsink is the only thing that's getting to me because it presses up against CPU heatsink
... i think i got the best of both worlds really..in my main HTPC downstairs i went for the fanless HD6570 because i had the height in the case and also i have a dual dvb s2 HD sat card in there (problems with playback using that)..on the freebie pc i picked up i think i went for the right card there (GT210)...certainly not forking out for a 3D tv for my girls and they have freewiew up there anyway..though i may look to putting in a free sat dvb card..not sure the GT210 will handle that or not.....on the 3D side..i am really not impressed with 3D...i have noted that unless you are bang on sqaure with the tv then the picture is crap

Beer40oz Wrote:+1.... yup... have it in the cart! this will make my setup way silent the only fan I hear that is loud is the GPU... hope this works out good! I love EVGA.... it just works.i'm a fan of gpu with fan, and i never own any fanless gpu either. i can barely hear any noise from it!
