I hope that I don't sound like an ass, but I'm perplexed at the arguments concerning video cards and thousands of posts on the subject. I can only read so many. 
I'm currently running a Leadtek GeForce 3 Ultra 64mb w/DVI and PowerDVD for most playback. Many DVD scenes of the sky, sand, lights, where there is a gradient type effect , it is pixelated/blocky. I'm calling this a video card problem since other scenes are beautiful and I have no complaints at all.
It seems to me that ATI is the way to go from the posts that I read. So, here are the questions that I have and all are realitive to DVD playback:
Which ATI video card with DVI should one purchase?
What is the best current driver to use?
What WinXP OS changes/tweaks are needed to get the best picture?
Anything else?
Please, somone that has a right to be "stuck-up" on the subject need only reply. I don't want to start another post that does nothing except create argument upon argument with pages and pages to read. There has to be a "perfect" setup concerning DVD playback.
