Honestly if it will run BF3 at those settings that will be enough for me. I just don't play enough to spend a pile of money on a card.

I'll take a look at these. Thanks! Ah ok... What would it do with BF3?

I already took out a title loan on my car so I can make this purchase. :o

Hey guys, I have been out of the PC gaming side of comupters for a while and have recently started getting back into it with MSFSX, COD, and etc. I want to pick up a better video card than the 5550 I have now. I am running an Athlon 2 X3 450 (unlocked to 4 cores) with a single video card...

I am using HDMI, though.:confused:

Bump

Ok, again, sorry for my dumb questions, but after searching I'm not clear on a good converter. Can you recommend me one? And also, I don't have an issue with video. That works fine. It's just the audio, so if there's a way to convert just the audio that would be nice.

Also, I'm curious...could I re-encode my files that are MP3/AAC into Dolby and be able to bitstream them? If so, I'd just do that and be done with this mess.

Yes, the files I am trying to play are 5.1 encoded. I have some that are 2.1/2.0 also, but I know for a fact a few are 5.1.

Sorry for sounding dumb here, but is there any way for them to play in 5.1 on my setup then?

Ok, so I installed the HD5550 I had laying around and now I have sound with the MP3 and AAC encoded files. There's only one catch, though. It's in 2.0. It still will not play those files in 5.1; but Dolby files are still playing fine in 5.1. What's strange is that XBMC is using pass-through...

I have Dish Network, but it applies. I have an HTPC but I don't use it for any TV watching. I let the DVR handle that, and the HTPC handle everything else.

XBMC apparently doesn't require any code packs. Also, it won't play any of my MP3's in my music library.

Oh and I forgot to mention that I have an ATIHD5550 sitting here that I can use if I need to. Does anyone think it's an issue with the 4250? I'm just at a loss here.

Hey guys, I got my HTPC set up, but I am having issues with getting sound for certain codecs. I did some searching around and some looking in my system, and see that under the Playback Devices in Windows 7 my ATI HD 4250 shows up. I look under "encoded formats" and see only Dolby Digital. I...
