I'm looking at lower-priced video cards (my budget right now) and I'm<br>
seeing a lot of 610s, 620s, 630s and 710s, 720s and 730s in the sub $100<br>
range. Even some 210s.<br>
<br>
Are any of these any good? My current card (may it rest in peace) is a<br>
GT 430 that I paid about 74 Cdn for. What's comparable these days?<br>

As of the 300x series NVidia drivers the *10 cards might be enough for Advanced 2x deinterlacing, but there isn't nearly as much headroom as the 20 & 30 cards. I have a fanless GT630v2 (GK208/Kepler) and it works great. The GT730 with 64-bit memory and 384 CUDA cores is essentially the same card. I assume you aren't terribly worried about gaming performance as these are just okay for that.<br>
<br>
The 720 should also be capable according to this:<br>
