Hello
I'm looking to upgrade my old SFF HTPC's video card. It is hooked to a 1080p LED TV and it currently has a Nvidia GT 220 witch has done well till late when 1080p Blu-ray quality Web Video or files (MP4, MKV, etc) seem to be overwhelming it (I.E. frame rate drops and audio sync issues)..
I'm not looking to game on it I have my main rig for that, so I'm not looking for the latest and greatest as its only running Win XP powered by a 3.4Ghz Pentium D with 4 GB ram, I just need it to run 1080p Video (web and file) cleanly..
I am looking to stick with Nvidia if possible and was thinking of a GT 520 or GT 640 as both can be picked up fairly cheap now but was unsure if bottlenecks might cause me more problems with the very old CPU.. Any advice would be welcome
