[mythtv-users] Upgrade from 9400 to GT430 - now problems

[Gerald Brandt]

I've been running an Nvidia 9200 system for a while.  I had to use vdpau slim mode to play 1080i.

Looking for something better, I purchased a GT-430 PCIe low profile card, and the problems started.

The card doesn't even keep up on vdpau slim.  My logs are filled with:

I've turned of PowerMizer, so that doesn't seem to be an issue.

I'm running:

Will upgrading the NVidia driver help me?
