Which graphic card for HTPC?

Click the following link for a comparision of several video cards (the review itself is for the HD 4550).

I haven't read the article but based on the matrix, I would recommend the HD 4650. The HD 4670 uses about 47w of power, so I imagine the HD 4650 should be around 40w - 45w.

The clear winner in power consumption is the HD 4550 at 18.5w, it did not score as high as the HD 46xx / GeForce 9600 GT (61w) which both tied in first place.

I have a passively cooled 9600 GT made by ECS (??) in my HTPC. I probably would have bought the HD 4670 had AMD released it when I was fishing around for a video card.

Also, there is no need to post the same question twice.

Since no one responded to your other thread you should be able to delete it. I think you need click Edit, then Delete.

Great link! Thanx!!  

I wonder how the 4550 compares to the onboard GPU like AMD 780 chipsets. I did test a AMD 780 MB once, but I could sometimes see frame lagging during a movie playback at 1920x1080 resolution. Not so nice.
