X800 Pro to 6600...Worth it?

I'm not a video card guru by any means, so would switching from an ATI X800 Pro to a Gigabyte Passive cooled NVIDIA 6600 be worthwhile? I'm talking strictly from a TV/DVD picture quality standpoint...I don't game and the noise/coolness of the ATI, the way I have it set up, is fine with me. I was just wondering how much quality would improve using the full "Pure Video" technology.

Don't think you would see enough difference to care... And getting the purevideo decoder to work with sage appears to be a trick in itself with version 3. Seems a number of people (myself included) can't get decent performance with it.

I'd stick with what you have.

The purevideo decoder worked perfectly for me with v3. I'd imagine there are a lot more people with it working than the few who are having problems.

I was not happy with v3 until I bought purevideo decoders
