You do not have to scale 1080i to a 1080 resolution. It is already the correct size after deinterlacing has been done.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Strange, I've not experienced any problems with high-bitrate 1080i streams on my standard clocked passively cooled GT430. Using full spatial/temporal deinterlacing.

I don't really know what's going on. If I choose the "wrong" deinterlacer, the video is basically smooth but plays faster once every second so it's obviously unwatchable. The framerate jumps between 35-45 FPS when playing 50i content (I assume it's trying to create 50 frames but can't keep up). Is there a way to check GPU usage on Linux while playing? I only have one screen so I can't launch nvidia-xconfig (which I think displays it), plus launching it locks my TV at 1080p50 (don't know why).

sorry to overlook the original problem...but you really should not use 1080i to begin with.
1080i (where the i stands for interlaced) means that half of the pixels are virtual pixels so you only get 540 "real" pixels...it kinda tricks your tv into thinking that the video is 1080 when its not...interlaced video also is horrible at displaying fast movement, you will see a lot of blurring/trailing in 1080i that you do not get in 720p
Im doing my best to make this easy to understand because marketing has confused the subject...but 1080i is a LOWER quality video than 720p...720p is only surpassed by 1080p (and soon to come, 4320p)
anyway...if you are using 1080i, you would be better off converting your video to 720p...or re-ripping from the source to 1080p because any kind of progressive format is better than interlaced.
PS, using a deinterlacer on an interlaced video is prob a bad idea too, and may be why you see the skiping
