Hi,
Im running Windows Vista Ultimate with 3 Gigs of RAM and a 2.4GHZ AMD Dual Core Processor along side an ATI All-in-Wonder x1900 XT. The problem is I just bought the XBOX 360 HDDVD drive for use on that computer and it wont play movies because it is not an HDCP compliant video card. I also tried running the drive on my other Vista Ultimate machine and found that the X1600 in that computer would play HDDVDs, but barely. I found that by decreasing my resolution it would play a little more smoothly, although it never played perfectly.
What I need is one (or dual) video cards that have good Vista drivers, enough power to run HDDVDs at 1080i on a DLP TV via HDMI or DVI, and of course that complies with HDCP. I have considered buying dual X1600 512mb cards but I am not sure this would handle Vista and an HDDVD without any hiccups. Please leave your suggestions, but try to keep it under $400 total and let me know how the Vista support is.
Thanks for all your suggestions and comments!
