</div>The consensus seems to be an NVidia PCIe card with HDMI output.<br>
<br>
You might prefer a silent one with no fan but with a big heatsink.<br>
<br>
Which chipset? No idea.<br></blockquote><div><br>I have two GT220s and they're very good and relatively inexpensive at around $130 a piece. <br><br>One is a Gigabyte GV-N220OC-1Gi (<a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125295">http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125295</a> ) which is pretty quiet considering it has a fan, though it takes 2 slots. <br>
<br>The other is an Asus ENGT220 <a href="http://ascent.co.nz/productspecification.aspx?ItemID=389264">http://ascent.co.nz/productspecification.aspx?ItemID=389264</a> which is quite a bit noisier but still in use in my lounge due to the placement of the HDMI port on the Gigabyte at the top of the card meaning I can't actually use the HDMI on the Gigabyte in that particular case.<br>
<br>Not the only options, but they seem to cope well with everything I've thrown at them.<br></div></div>
