Hi Neil,

I agree with what Andrew said. Here is the card I was aiming for:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_gt_220_us.html

But there was an extra few cents around so I ended up aiming for this:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/product-geforce-gt-430-us.html

Then a special got me the 450:

All of the above with do 1080 as is claimed by Nvidia

It is well worth noting that the card I have is not a dual slot monster, 
it doesn't even need PSU power (very odd). The design shown on both the 
retail site and Nvidia is dated.

All the cards have a specifications tab :)

To "push" the card, I played an IMAX clip, "1080" with 6ch surround (the 
card does 7.1 without a problem, tested with soundtest) and I can't see 
an issue. Here is the tech specs of the clip:

Audio Codec Description         : 440 kbps, 48 kHz, 5.1 channel 16 bit 
(A/V) 1-pass CBR
Image Size                      : 1440x1080

Hope that helps !
