I bought this exact one a while ago from Novatech and it's been
working great for me: http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/prods/Components/Graphics-Nvidia/Nvidia9500Series/9500GT512MB.html
Although the picture shows a fan on the card, there was no fan on mine
(just a massive heatsink) - also has HDMI - got my HDMI audio working
using the SPDIF socket on my motherboard, hooked in to the SPDIF in on
the video card - much less hassle than getting audio going out through
the audio stuff on the card. The manual didn't mention it, but it was
marked "SPDIF IN" on the board.
VDPAU works a charm on the card - haven't run in to any problems with
it in several months of using VDPAU, am using the Advanced 2x deint too.
If I remember, I'll fish out the box and let you know the exact
manufacturer, as there's a chance that Novatech have changed which
cards they call their own (it's happened in the past), but you can
always buy it and return it if it doesn't match - you have 7 days in
the UK for anything you buy online.
