HD (1080) on Athlon 64 3000+ - calibre45 - 2011-02-05 Hi What video card would be sufficient to play full hd (1080) movies on my old Athlon 64 3000+ CPU? Is this possible? Thank you - eskro - 2011-02-05 which GPU cardd slot you have on your motherboard? AGP? PCI-Express? - Beer40oz - 2011-02-05 A GT210 would be the cheapest if your mobo can take it. I bought one for $10 bucks after mail in rebate and it works pretty darn good. - calibre45 - 2011-02-05 eskro Wrote:which GPU cardd slot you have on your motherboard? AGP, unfortunately - eskro - 2011-02-05 Apparently --> Sapphire Radeon HD3650 AGP 512M DDR2 - calibre45 - 2011-02-05 What about Radeon HD4650? Or may be changing MB and CPU would be cheaper? - eskro - 2011-02-05 Sapphire Radeon HD4650 1GB 128-bit DDR2 AGP Price after rebate: $69.99 - calibre45 - 2011-02-05 eskro Wrote:Apparently --> Sapphire Radeon HD3650 AGP 512M DDR2 I've heard, that UVD+ would not be enough for 1080 video, UVD2 is required. Is this true? - eskro - 2011-02-05 Sapphire Radeon HD4650 1GB 128-bit DDR2 AGP Price after rebate: $69.99 Additional multi-media capabilities are included, with the implementation of Unified Video Decode (UVD) a special core logic hardware based decode for MPEG-2, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC and VC1. UVD offers official support for BD-Live through dual video stream decoding and Picture-in-Picture mode. Specifically the RV730 features UVD2.2, which enhances compatibility for MPEG-2/H.264/VC-1 video, an incremental upgrade over the UVD2 found on the RV770/RV790 based cards. The Sapphire HD4650 AGP features three outputs, dual DVI and a TV-out. Included in the box are DVI to VGA adapters and a DVI to HDMI adapter. - calibre45 - 2011-02-05 thank you! i'll try it. - eskro - 2011-02-05 http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=714736&postcount=9 |
