Low Power, Silent, Cheap...

Hi,

It would appear that my onboard HD2000 graphics aren't upto the job of 1080P via DXVA on one 1080P monitor, and 'general usage' on the other 1080P screen...


I'm thinking of picking up something to replace, at the moment I'm looking at an AMD/ATi 6570. It's going to reside in an SFF PC, which only has a 300W PSU, so minimal heat and power usage are important.

Any better suitors than the 6570? Not looking to spend over £50 really...

No gaming? Pretty much any modern low end card will do you I think, 5 series will probably do the same job and cost less. Don't bother splashing out on one which may have double the vram, the lower the card the less heat it will knock out and many come with a passive cooling solution. if it's just really 2D you can also downclock it further but most cards run at next to nothing in 2D these days anyway. back in my shuttle days I used to downclock my x800xl/xt 2D profile in ATItool, kinda miss that program.

I did however notice this the other day if you are running a media box, out of your budget but thought I would give you a heads up
