Just make sure that's the 630 with 64-bit memory and 384 CUDA cores 
(Kepler).  I don't think the Fermi ones with 96 cores perform as well on 
deinterlacing (though as I alluded to, 300 drivers are better than 29x 
for Fermi cards).  Why NVidia tries to confuse people by overloading 
card numbers is beyond me.

I swapped my GT430 for the GT630 when I bought it and it just worked.
