i can assure you the gt430 card won't do it. i'm convinced the problem is because xbmc is reading the refresh rate wrong but no one seems to be able to fix it. when reclock reads the refresh rate wrong, it doesn't work either and you have crappy video. xbmc is reading 24hz whether the card is set for 23.976 23.970 or whatever. this is causing speed to be adjusted on the OSD when it shouldn't be. a 25p movie plays perfect with no issues because the refresh is 50hz, xbmc nails that, there is no speed up, no missed frames except when pausing and everything is perfect. but because xbmc is using directdraw instead of direct3d to get the refresh rate, its getting 24hz, same thing reclock does on my system if you don't set it to direct3d for refresh rate. then you have the issue where sometimes it locks on and doesn't have the miss counter flying up and other times when the missed counter is just counting up and up.

EDIT: I just checked and a movie encoded as 24fps doesn't show +.100 on the speed in the OSD. thats kind of weird for two reasons. for one when the refresh rate isn't actually 24hz which it definately isn't on my system and most peoples systems, 24FPS should be the one with speed adjustment, not 23.976. And second, i'm on my monitor now which supports 60hz and 75hz only. I'd drag my computer downstairs to definitively test this but I don't know that its worth it as over a year plus already this is going on and I don't see it getting fixed anytime soon.
