Hey,
I know the answer to this, deep down*, but would appreciate some views.
Installed W7 on my HTPC last night after a few years of running it on Vista. So far, so good. Only problem is some video "tearing" when swapping between MediaCentre and Desktop. And, like, on boot up and stuff. I'm running the onboard graphics on a Asus M3A78-EM mobo, which are, I believe, Radeon HD3200. It's running through my 32 inch samsung telly.
I'm NOT using HDMI as the drivers don't seem to get on with the onboard graphics, or there's a handshakeissue, or something which causes stutter to all videos played. Also, under/ overscan was ugly, and I generally prefer DVI.
So, anyway, I'm thinking of getting a proper GPu. I've got my eyes on the Geforce GT520, which is low profile and looks good and also, cheap.
So, the million dollar question: Is the GT520 better than the onboard?
(main use is videos, DVDs, Bluray, no real gaming).
*the answer, I believe is "Yes, you idiot, upgrade".
Thanks
