[mythtvnz] Video Card Suggestion for HD

[Jean-Yves Avenard]

Hi

I strongly suggest that you get a GT4xx card over a GT220.

The GT430 is an excellent choice for a few reasons.

A GT430 is almost 1/3rd of the size of a GT220.
It uses less power (58W vs 49W)
It generates less heat (GT220 max core temperature is 105degres vs is 90 degres)
And it supports 3D TV if you're into that kind of thing.

Audio-wise it also supports HBR (hight bit-rate mode) passthrough.
That means you will be able to do DTS-HD MA and TrueHD passthrough.

Something the GT2xx don't do, at least no officially. It's very random
and while it may work for other, it certainly doesn't work for
everyone.
