Looking to beef up my video power. I have the Gigabyte E350 Zacate board. What is a good mid-upper range GFX card that will work for me? I have zero experience with GFX cards, so I'm not even sure I know what I need. Any help would be great!

Mostly XBMC, just having some issues with BD iso files thru TMT5 and PDVD 11. Super choppy playback (from a NAS over GB ethernet.
All my mkv files play fine (even those with HD audio), but for some reason my system just can't keep up with BD isos.

A new GPU? Can you build a new machine?
Its like installing a new 350cc engine in a Pinto.
Just trying to save you some buyer's remorse and save you money in the long run.

I was hoping to avoid it, but you may be right. Might be time to call in a favor from my buddies @ Intel. A good friend of mine had a hand in designing the mini-Itx spec so maybe he's got something laying around that I can poach.
How about this, knowing that I'm sticking to the ITX form factor, can you suggest a card I can use for now and also use in my next build?
