Hi,
I've been doing a lot of reading lately about how the new H.264 decoding motherboard chipsets for AMD require an HT3.0 cpu (ie a Phenom I believe) to enable post processing to be accelerated by the onboard graphics. Reading about all the people having issues with the 780G (thanks sbiddle in particular) I'm now thinking that I will get an 8500 or 8600 card rather than go with the 780G. So my question is, with an 8500GT or 8600GT will I still require an HT3.0 cpu to be able to use the post processing capabilities of the graphics card, or is that only an issue for onboard graphics?
Thanks
Andy
