How is the DVD playback on a GeForce2 GTS?

[ElectroM]

I am thinking of getting one of the GTS cards to replace my old ATI Xpert 128. The GTS claims to have DVD support. Has anyone here tried the playback? If so, I would greatly appreciate any opinions before laying out a wad of cash for one.

pretty good, using powerdvd

frankly, i don't have a GTS, but with my Geforce SDR and winDVD, I already got excellent playback. My conclusion was that the video card is way too good for that purpose already

great! double post...

as long as you have a 400+ cpu, it should be more than plenty.

Mine works well. No dropped frames, low cpu utilization..

Thanks for the info. I am running one of the PIII 700e's at 933 MHZ on an Abit BX6r2. I am having video card problems with the Xpert 128 on the 88 mhz AGP bus. I under stand the GTS cards will handle this just fine, I just wanted to be able to watch my movies. I have a 13" tv and a 19" Sony monitor, so the dvd stuff is important to me. Now I just need to know whether the 64mb versin is worth the extra money. Need to find the best deal on one.
