Hey guys looking at 2 cards for connecting my PC to a really inexpensive 40" LED tv through HDMI. Using this only for general office computing and streaming ( netflix, video calls, seminars). I've found these for under $40. Will the be adequate? Should I be looking for faster processors?
EVGA GeForce 8400 GS Passive 1024 MB DDR3 PCI Express
ASUS EAH6450 Silent/DI/1GD3(LP) Radeon HD 6450 1GB 64-Bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1
ASUS EAH5450 SILENT/DI/1GD3(LP) Radeon HD 5450 1GB DDR3 PCI Express 2.1

Thanks!

Again, of the three, the HD6450 is the strongest and should be able to handle any video playback (including blu-ray) you could through at it. If you find one with 2GB of on-board video RAM, it certainly won't hurt anything, but I would note that my 1GB HD4670 handles blu-ray very easily.

As I'm reading more of the forums I should have given more details like running windows 7 64 bit if that matters any. Not doing any blu-ray but may add the drive later. Also will a 2GB card make any significant difference? Thanks again
