Looking for a low-profile GPU for HTPC. Advice?
Basically I know virtually NOTHING about video cards. Last time I got one it refused to work in my computer (an Old Dell).
Basically I want to be able to decode 1080p (and do re-encoding, not necessarily 1080p) without my computer bogging down. And I want to stream to my Xbox with subtitles, which my G620 simply CANNOT do (as it requires burning in subtitles on the fly before streaming it to the xbox).
Any advice? I don't want a super expensive GPU, but it needs to be low-profile to fit my case (info in hardware description)
thanks. Oh and you you mind using newegg.ca as your referral site? it accepts debit cards, and I haven't gotten a credit card yet.
