Can any<br>
users out there with 720 sets recommend if it's worth it to get the GT<br>
430, 440, or even the 640 to get advanced 2x deinterlacing? Or will<br>
something like 2x temporal be enough with a 720 display? There's<br>
something to be said for the lower power consumption of the GT 520.<br>
Thoughts?<br>

I have a 55" 1080p capable TV and a GT 430 that I have tested and could<br>
use with it but I am using a GT 520 and Temporal,2X with it because I can't<br>
see any difference between Advanced,2X and Temporal,2X. And I've tried. A<br>
lot.<br>

I was in the same dilemma last week... fanless GT 520 or a GT 430 with fan<br>
(fanless were too expensive). Ended up picking up a GT 440 on ebay for<br>
the same price as a GT 520.<br>
<br>
Personally, if I was paying retail I probably would go with the GT520 and<br>
try to get it to output a native 1080i signal that my TV can deinterlace<br>
itself, eliminating the need for deinterlacing on the card... failing that,<br>
I'd probably be just fine with Temporal 2x.<br>

You do realize that only makes sense if your TV's internal deinterlacer is actually better than nvidia's vdpau temporal 2x deinterlacer, right? I know that on my TV, the deinterlacer is terrible (and actually has problems keeping up with high-bitrate video)--even software-based kernel or linear or one-field is much better than the deint in my TV.<br>
</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Of course, thats obvious. My tv's deint isn't too bad... though I haven't had a card capable of Advanced 2x to compare. </div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
I don't think anyone has ever said the other-than-Advanced-2x vdpau deinterlacers are bad and that Advanced 2x is the only one worth using.*<br><br>
*In truth, I think most people just want Advanced 2x because they've heard it's better/they like "bigger numbers"/the name says, "Advanced," so, of course it's the most advanced/it's part of VDPAU High, and *my* system isn't some "Medium" or "Slim" slouch/...</blockquote>
<div><br></div><div>Agreed. If I hadn't got such a good deal on a GT440, I definitely would have went with the lower powered, fanless, card. I still may if the fan is too loud on the GT440.</div></div>
