Which is quicker ATI HD2400Pro or Nvidia 8500GT ?
Hi,
The question is as per title, I need a new low profile PCI-E video card for an HTPC and I want to know which is the quicker out of the ATI HD2400Pro vs the Nvidia 8500GT ? Both cards under consideration have 256MB of DDR2 memory fitted I will mainly be using it to watch TV and DVDs so video speed is important to me, and hardware HD decoding would be very nice for the future. (Note : I don't play any games to any significant extent on this machine). Many thanks, Mike

There's basicaly zero difference in speed in this regard. In HD decoding, the AMD cards tend to be better at offloading the CPU. Here's some reading regarding the 8600/8800 series and 2400/2600 series in their TV/DVD and HD aspects. http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3047&p=1

http://www23.tomshardware.com/graphi...5 6&chart=275 Too bad every single benchmark listed in that review has nothing to do with his question....they're all 3D ability and speed tests.
