Deinterlacing in Myth is done by the CPU. Changing the video card won't make
any difference. Just try the various deinterlacing methods and see which one
looks best to you.

It's a different story if you're trying to output an interlaced signal. In
that case the card may make a difference, but frankly it's so hard to get it
to output a correctly synchronised interlaced signal that even with an
interlaced display it'll probably be easier to deinterlace anyway. Certainly
I never had any luck getting a good looking interlaced signal working.

Cheers,
Steve
