Default Re: Anybody tried Nvidia Purevideo?

u're welcome but do u want to upgrade for just that reason ? u say that u wont use pirated stuff so how do u intend to get HD movies . u'll have to use blu ray disc or HD DVD . to have either players ur budget shud be good enough , so wait till HD movies become established in the market and HD dvd/ blu ray disc player's price reduces and then buy a player and a high end rig ( any c2d will easily run HD movies without purevedio or avivo ) . and thinking of that consider buying hd 2400 or hd 2600 as they offer AVIVO HD . pros : its more hardware based ( not very sound in technical details but that toms article tells so ) con : bad driver support ..i read in a place that the card dint even come with the support CD , u HAVE to download drivers. . ..
All the same i feel u can post pone u're upgrade . But u are more experienced i guess , so i am sure watever decission u take will b the best ..
