specific gfx card purchase request

[han_solo]

hi there,

I'm after a gfx card that's low on power consumption and quite cheap if poss. I only need it to play the odd high res movie file and encode/remux the odd movie file as well.

I'm thinking of one of the 5xxx series cards.. but which one?

I think even the 5770 would be overkill for me (i won't be playing any games) Any ideas? thanks!

thanks mate.. was thinking about that. Just want to get some more input regarding its suitability.
