Did some searching through back threads but didn't find an answer I was satisifed with.
I recently upgraded my system to an AthlonX4, 4 GB DDR3, on an Asus M4A785TD-M board with onboard Radeon 4200 video in a hope of making my system HD-capable but I still seem to have picture stutter issues with Live HD channels from my HDHomeRun. Recorded programs from the HDHR also have stutter with any renderer other than Overlay Manager.
Any recommendations for a good add-in video card to throw in there? PCI-Express 2.0 x16 is the available slot. I also have another limitation - I have everything in a small-ish MicroATX case that has a 300W power supply - which seems to be a bit of an issue as a lot of cards seem to be requiring more robust PSU's than that.
I don't necessarily need a low profile card - I can use one with a standard bracket - but the smaller physical size of the card, the better. Passive cooling would also be a plus.
I've always been an nVidia devotee - would a 9400 card be sufficient?
