OK, so I am building a computer for my sister and I plan to use my ATI X1900 that is currently in my HTPC and get a new video card for my HTPC.
This is my issue though. A couple of years ago when I built my HTPC I tried to initially install an nVidia 7600GT in the HTPC. However, the nvidia card had a lot of problems with my panasonic plasma and most of the time never showed any picture at all.
Once I switched over to the ATI card all problems were solved and I haven't had one issue in two years. So my question is this. Should I stick with ATI or try an nvidia card. A double slot card isn't a problem because I have the room in my case and double slot cards usually blow the hot air out the back which is what I need.
I was thinking about going with a ATI 4770, but I really don't need something that fast because I don't do any gaming on my HTPC. I run the video through HDMI on my Onkyo receiver and my plasma is 42".
Any suggestions?
