I have not been overly happy with the video performance of my main HPTC and am thinking it may be due to my budget GPU card. The SUS ENGT430 DC SL/DI/1GD3 GeForce GT 430 went on sell at Newegg and so I pulled the trigger on one. Everything I read says this is a great HTPC video card and should meet my needs. My question is whether there is anything I should do to ensure that this card is doing the majority of the work since the CPU in my HTPC is not the fastest? Is just installing the video drivers for this card enough or are there more tweaks I should be doing? I use MCE and followed the Sticky Post Setup Guide that uses the Shark Codex and then I use MediaPortal/MyFilms to play all my videos. I did some searches, but did not find anything recent that discussed this issue.
Thanks in advance
