RKMFlorida Wrote:The thing is, as mentioned earlier in the thread, I don't think you'll find a PCI card that has any form of video acceleration that supports VDPAU which XBMC would require.I thought that was the point of this whole thread?
RKMFlorida Wrote:Yes, my mistake, I originally thought the thread was about minimum hardware configs that could run 1080p. Now I see you're looking for PCI.Not sure whether you're being ironic. The thread is called "Lowest spec 1080p capable computer using PCI version of NVIDIA 8400GS or similar". Am I missing something?
RKMFlorida Wrote:If you simply want to know which NVIDIA chipsets will support VDPAU, just look here:Yep. Seems there are plenty of PCI cards with 8400GS. Can't find one with an HDMI port, though (nor an Nvidia 210 card with PCI interface) - which somewhat limits the possiblities. :-(

Anything you can find in PCI form, simply check whether its on that list.

phusg Wrote:Good tip about the 9400GT in PCI form factor, unfortunately I'm short on PCI slots and would feel a bit silly sacrificing my Gbit NIC for it and leaving my AGP port empty!!!Ditto.
phusg Wrote:Thanks for stating the obvious, Captain, hopefully someone will finally take note and make a decent passively cooled AGP HD video accelerator with both Windows and Linux driver support.We can but hope, but I'm not holding my breath. Especially not for one with HDMI output. LOL :-)
IsleOfMan Wrote:What skins are you guys running on P4 + 8400GS rigs? Any chance some version of AEON is smooth?Is Aeon more difficult to run than 1080P?! I hope that's not going to be an issue, because I was definitely planning on Aeon.
