Sage hd upgrade
ok, right now I am running a 7800 gt for video. Thinking about moving to a radeon with full hdmi support for easier cord management. now, will buying a card with a dedicated hardware video decoder help with playback. or will this not have any effect.
Thanks

Que? Your video card has a hardware video decoder.....do you mean like a PCI card that would do the video decoding? Like an old Mpeg decoder? If that is what you are talking about, that would be a terrible idea because you would be by passing your video card and the HDMI port you wanted....

The new radeons are supposed to off load the video processing for the hd to make it easier on the processors. I was just wondering if this would help with a htpc runing sage?

Yes that would. The ATI 3450/3650/3850 would take the load off the CPU for playing HD. These have gotten pretty good reviews .
