I'm just going through the stages of designing an HTPC. I've had a look through these forums for recommendations on a suitable graphics card, however everything seems to be geared towards gaming and not the playback of HD content (either from DVD or HDD).
I am buying a Samsung LE46M87BDX 46" LCD TV for use in this set up.
I would like a card with an HDMI link and preferably fit within an Antec Fusion v2 mATX case (which is quite cramped). Although I am willing to change the case if needs be.
Would it be sufficient to have an onboard graphics card on the mobo which would suit my requirements? I don't want to sacrifice quality, so I feel that a separate card is the way forward.
Can anyone point me in the right direction with their experiences / thoughts?
Many thanks!
