Hi everyone,
I'm looking to upgrade my 8800GTS 640mb card. I'm using it to watch movies at 1080p, it's connected to my epson 1080p projector.
I have a stuttering problem when watching the blueray version of Avatar. I'm using powerdvd ultra 9 for the software decoding.
The rest of the system is 2.4ghz C2D with 2 gigs of ram and 2 - 150g raptors and a 750w corsair psu.
Now since this is for movies only, I'm wondering if I should get a Nvidia 250 or 240 card. There about $100 - $150, that would be my limit.
I will also probably change my processor to a 3.0Ghz C2D that I have on hand.
So which would be better for HD video playback ? 240 or 250 ??
Just noticed I could get a pny gts 250 1MB card for $139
Thanks for the input.
Jose
