Mutly: This thread has made me all nervous now. I am running a 8500GT silent (passive cooling) in an LC-17 case and it has been running perfectly for over a year (touch wood). I hadn't read about the issues with 1080i under newer MP versions. I assume you mean 1.1 or later? Will have to go and have a read. I dont want to upgrade my hardware again if I dont have to.
Edit: Read the relevant MP threads. I am running MP 1.0.2 on the 8500GT and don't have the stuttering issues, but i am beginning to wonder if this is what is playing a part in the Audio/video sync issues I am having with TV3??? I wonder if I can borrow a 9500GT from somewhere...

kiwijunglist: Hit SHIFT+! and see what your jitter and dropped frames are.
My jitter usually settles down to between 0-3 and drop frames is always zero.
I can't brain today. I have the dumb.

meesham: Ascent has this Asus 9500GT which is passively cooled and has HDMI out. I'm tempted at the moment to swap my HD4550 for it to see if the nVidia sorts out my stuttering problem. Every 3-4 minutes I get a second of video freeze (audio continues fine) but I'm not sure if a change in video card will make any difference.The picture shows it's fanned: same on the Asus site. Very similar to the one I went with, but mine doesn't have native HDMI. Mine is very quiet; the stock CPU fan is much louder. Next on the to-do list: get a bracket for my old Zalman 7600alcu cooler.

@mcraenz -I didn't even touch my card! Also, any chance of a GPU -Zalman or similar- fan fitting?
viperguy: my onboard graphics does an excellent job of tv3 with mediaportal, along with any other HD content i can throw at it, as long as gaming isnt a priority then a 780G chipset will suffice perfectly
