I have a Dell Inspiron 531 Desktop PC with 300W PSU and a VisonTex ATI Radeon HD 5550 graphic card with 1GB DDR Memory.
But, DirecTV Recommends one of the graphics cards with the following graphics processor unit (GPU) installed on your computer in order to play DTCP-IP content.
Intel 965G, G33 graphics
>>nVidia GeForce 7800 GTX 512, GeForce 7900 GX2, GeForce 7900 GTX, GeForce 7950 GX2, GeForce 8400 series, GeForce 8500 series, GeForce 8600 series, GeForce 8800 series
>>ATI (minimum requirements) X1800 series, X1900 series
>>ATI (recommended requirements) ATI Radeon HD 2400, 2600, 2900, 3400, 3600, 3800 series Video RAM: Graphics card memory requires 256MB or above.
I am very confused. Why isn't my graphics card better than the DirecTV "recommended" cards? Doesn't the higher number 5550 vs. 3800 mean something? When I bought the ATI Radeon HD 5550 I thought is was the best graphics card on Tom's Hardware graphics card hierarchy for 300W PSU. But my PC cannot pass the DIRECTV2PC Playback adviser scan. Where do I go from here?
