Nvidia 7300GS
Just recieved my Gigabyte 7300GS (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2E16814125014). Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to play with hdtv playback, but I did fire up a game of Far Cry last night and was fairly happy (okay so it was on a fairly low res, but for my light to moderate amount of game play I was happy). What I love about this card is that it is silent, can be used for dual VGA (although they did not supply a DVI to VGA adapter but I already had two), and it comes with a component breakout cable. All of this for less than 70 bucks. I am not expecting it to handle FSE, but hopefully paired with the Sempron 3400+ in the box i have it, it will at least handle Overlay (which I am fairly certain it will). Hopefully tonight I will have some time to test the playback.

You should expect more. I have a 6200GS with the nVidia Purevideo decoder running FSE at 1440 x 900. Works like a champ and no tearing.

Full Screen Exclusive. It gives SageTV full use of the video card. I need it on a 6600GT running at 1920x1080 or I get tearing.
