Not in my case. I had to fall back to Overlay mode when I added HD to my GB-PVR installation (and 6600 card) and on my 61" HDTV the SD video quality is equivalent to VMR9 Custom. Overlay and HD is actually far better video quality than VMR9 Custom and HD, since the latter stuttered unacceptably.
The OSD is another story, but one I can live with.
I guess I'm thankful I was able to get everything working in Overlay when others apparently can't.
After becoming aware of this Full Screen Exclusive stuff I might try another round of VMR tuning, but Overlay is not as terrible as it is often portrayed.
