Video Card Replacement
I'm thinking about ordering this card:
EVGA GeForce 9500 GT Video Card - 1GB DDR2, PCI Express 2.0, SLI Support, (Dual Link) Dual DVI, HDTV, VGA Support at TigerDirect.com
To replace the current video card, because the Vcore1 voltage is only 1.14v, instead of 1.39 as it should be, but I'm wondering how that card would stack up? I know that there are much better cards available, but I don't want to spend all that much. Nor am I interested in an ATI card.
One thing that caught my eye, is that it says that it is compatible with HDTV...what does this mean, that it has HDCP? The only thing that I can think of that would make me spend more is that I intend to buy an HDTV, and the one that I'm considering doesn't have a DVI connector, only HDMI and VGA. HDMI would be fine, except that on my Acer monitor, using a composite cable (DVI to HDMI) didn't work, so I'm unsure about the HDTV also.
