Hi folks,
Glad to be here
I am wondering if i should upgrade my current 6600GT pci-E card to a slightly faster 7600GT.
I am mostly concerned about the purevideo acceleration. Would anybody be able to tell me that the geforce 7 series GPU's have an enhanced purevideo motor compared to the 6 series?
I'm mostly using my card to watch live sat mpeg2 HD and H.264 channels (I'm in Europe).
I've read that VPU acceleration is dependant on clock speeds, but I wonder if there's any *real* improvement other then marginal CPU load variation between the two geforce series.
Any insights are welcome.
Cheers,
kamaleon
