As I describe at
<URL:http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/315909#315909>,
I also use a 6xxx card with a 1080p display.

Wonderful, ain't it? I've said it before and I'll say it again: Better
than settop-box output.

Your frontend is faster than my Pentium 4 3.0GHz; mine can't use the
OpenGL renderer.

This is because your 6xxx, like mine, is too slow. A pity, because
from what I hear Yadif and Greedy are *better* than Bob.
