    Cheap H.264 GPU

    I downloaded AMD System Monitor and as I suspected the GPU usage is very high when playing 1080p movies upscaled to 1440p. I am thinking of ordering the Radeon HD 6450, but before I do, can someone please confirm if this will be able to upscale 1080p movies to 1440p without any problems...

    Cheap H.264 GPU

    Thank you all for your input. I recently upgraded my monitor to a Dell U2711. I was using a old 26" 1280x768 monitor before which my ATI Radeon HD 3650 was able to handle fine. The problem I have now is when I play my movies (1080P) in fullscreen with Hardware Acceleration (DXVA) the video...

    Cheap H.264 GPU

    Thanks for your response. I don't think the older generation ATi 3x00 family support hardware acceleration for Sony Las Vegas or Photoshop.

    Cheap H.264 GPU

    Hi, I am looking to buy a cheap graphics card to power my 27" 2560x1440 monitor. I will not be playing any games but will be watching H.264 1080P movies as well as using Sony Las Vegas 11 for video editing. I heard Nvidia cards are good for watching movies and also accelerating video...

    Looking for a 26/27" monitor

    Thanks for all the replies. My budget is about £550 (about $865) I really don't want to pay for technology that I will never use such as 3D. My main reason for wanting a 26"/27" monitor is because I have been used to using a 26" for the past 7 years and everything else just looks too small...

    Looking for a 26/27" monitor

    Hi all, Currently I have a Acer AL2671W 26" LCD Monitor that I purchased in early 2005. Until recently it has served me well and I was very happy with the quality of the image it produced for both movies (720p) and general usage. It has now become faulty and needs to be replaced. The...

    ATI 3450, 3650 or nVidia 8500GT for Vista

    I am under the assumption that the Vista's Aero interface requires a solid GPU. Thanks for all the input, I will shop around to see if I can grab a HD3650 in a deal or else I will go for the HD3450. Again thanks for all the input.

    Hi, looking to order a new GPU for Vista Aero. Currently have a nVidia 6600GT, which is running Vista Aero fine. A new PC needs a GPU and I am not sure what to get. Currently have a low budget of £50.00. Absolutely no games will be played on the new PC. Vista running on the 6600GT gives...

    I have Norrowed it down as far as I can, Now I need your help.

    I recently upgraded to an E8400, Abit IP35 Pro with 2x1GB Corsair. I am very happy with my new setup. My last upgrade was 3 years ago to a AMD64 3500+ 2.21GHz. Unfortunately it was not powerful enough to decode 1080P mkv movies. The Abit IP35 Pro is a very well recommended board that has many...
