Best Budget GFX For Media PC?

[f1racer]

Hi All

I've not been studying the pros of gfx cards for a few years, and I'm now in the market to upgrade the gfx in my media centre as its an ATI x300se! I'm after a low profile PCIe card around £35-£60, whats the best out there? I'm not interested in ANY game playing with this card, just smooth DIVX/Win7 Media Centre playback. What can you recommend?


Thanks

either this card http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-162-XF&tool=3

Or maybe try picking up 2nd hand 3850, 1950

Yep, 5450 is pretty much perfect for those uses.

Thanks for the tip about the HD 5450.... After reading a few reviews, it seams slower than a HD 4550 though?

But is still more than capable for running any HD Video and uses far less power.

If you are not gaming it don't matter. Also HD5000 got better audio features than the HD4000, if you use the graphic card's HDMI output for audio that is.
