I am going to buy an ATI video card today to go in a currently disused frontend/slave backend, but I know next to nothing about their range of cards. It needs to be PCIe and it will be driving a monitor via a DVI connection (@1080x540).
<br><br>The frontend sports a 3.0Ghz EM64T P4, but has been unused since it had it's faulty motherboard replaced w/ one that lacks an AGP slot to hold its former nvidia GPU. Anyhow, I know I am getting an ATI card because I want to reward them for opening up their hardware. I'm looking for recommendations on which card to get, and any insight into what sort of HD playback experience I can expect in the near term.
