Re: [mythtv-users] nVidia card</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<tt>Ok, thanks all!<br>
<br>
So bottom line is, it's a great card for mythtv use.<br>
<br>
But, would I be better off getting an fx 5500? Is it worth putting the
extra money into a 256MB version rather than a 128MB? Would an MSI card
be a good choice?<br>
<br>
How hard is it to get TV out going?<br>
I've given up on my Radeon 7000 card, cannot make tv out work under
Mandrake 10.1 (I've tried all the drivers - radeon, ati.2, ...) its
just beyond me.<br>
<br>
Thanks again, this list is great help!<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>

What make is it? I've seen various cards on ebay, some of which

Actually, I think some of the Nvidia cards actually do sport full MPEG
decoders... it's just that the full decoder isn't supported under
Linux.
