Nvidia graphics card

[core2core]

I am thinking of changing my graphics card, (In sig) as I am a bit fed up with AMD.
Drivers are not great and I seem to keep having problems with fast video rendering technology, where it don't seem to show up. You also have to install separate software for it which is a pain.

When I do clone monitor I can't get sound on my TV unless I mess about changing the sound to the graphics card. Why I can't get sound through both, I really don't know.

So I am looking for a Nvidia card but I don't want low profile and I don't want high end. Mid range and under £100.

The card must support windows XP. Want it to be GDDR5 around 32Nm so it runs cool. Must have HDMI, VGA, and Full DVI connectors.

I want drivers that work and hassle free without having to use different bits of software.


I don't game but for Video editing, movies and bluray.

Link away.

This ticks the boxes you mentioned, sure someone will have some other recommendations for you

Might want to find out if Nvidia can send sound through HDMI and a soundcard in tandem.

Thanks I will take a look and check out some reviews. would have been good to compare with another card but maybe that is it in the range I'm after.

I could not really find a right answer. Maybe one of the Nvidia experts can say or not. Or at least on the recommended card above.

I don't think either AMD's or nVidia's cards can do this. The annoying thing is that is easily doable. At the moment, I can watch 2 different movies on two different screens with each movie's sound going to each different screen by selecting a different 'Audio Output' on Media Player Classic.

Since both HDMI and DisplayPort have sound sent through with the signal, simultaneous sound to 2+ devices is clearly possible but I haven't yet seen it implemented unfortunately.

Unless the image for that card is wrong, just be aware that you won't be able to use a resolution of higher than 1920x1200@60Hz because it seems to have two single-link DVI ports and HDMI digital ports.

Looks like you could be right. Looked around and some use different photos, so is hard to tell if it is the correct version, I don't want single-link really.

The card must support windows XP.

You mean XP must support the card? Better watch out, end of the year all drivers, software and whatever else you can think of is completely cutting XP out, Microsoft is stopping all updates, as are third parties.
