Nothing fancy really. I currently have a 4650 in my machine just for watching movies and such with.

I have had blu ray for a year now, but I tried watching Aliens earlier this month on blu ray and it wouldn't play cos it mentioned something about needing HDCP enabled or working.

Funnily enough many of the blu ray I own have worked fine apart from that one. The monitor I have is the Benq 22" HD LED one.

So I would like, if possible to know what's the best card to get that has HDCP capability built in, please.

I have been looking at both the 6570 and 6670 and so far really tempted by the 6670.

Your help, as always is greatly appreciated.

As a side note, I have checked MM and no one has any of these cards, which is a bummer.

The 4650 is more than enough to watch HD/BluRay video on.

Check CCC and make sure hardware acceleration is enabled. This will help with HD playback.

Quite funnily enough, I did an update on the drivers, rebooted and it works :o oh the sheer epic fail on my part.

Thanks tho. :)
