<tt>Perhaps get an overclocked 9500 with DDR3 RAM?<br>

<tt>I have an Asus EN9500GT OC/DI/512M which has done Advanced 2X on all the HD content I have tested it on. I have only tested it on DVB-S2 HD content, but some of those channels are quite high bitrate I think (e.g. BBC HD on 1W).<br>
</tt><br>
</div><tt>Update:<br>
</tt><tt>I used ffmpeg -i on these recordings and the one with highest bitrate was this one:</tt>
<ul><tt>Duration: 00:03:22.04, start: 57390.811211, bitrate: 17493 kb/s<br>

<tt>Stream #0.0[0x202]: Video: h264, yuv420p, 1920x1088 [PAR 1:1 DAR 30:17], 25 tbr, 90k tbn, 50 tbc<br>
</tt></ul>
<tt>Not sure if this is considered high bitrate or not.</tt></div></blockquote><div><br> Do you have any problems on your OC 9500GT with overlays? I'm curious if the newer/faster cards are capable of overlays without causing the video to stutter. Due to a forced upgrade situation, I just had to buy a new card. Using the information found here: <a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/NVidia_Cards">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/NVidia_Cards</a>, I purchased a 567MHz 8400GS because it sounded like the best solution (and it was fanless).<br>
<br> I just got it last week and plugged it in, I'm bummed out because the card does fine with the HD content but when I bring up overlays like program information or closed captions, it can't hang. I start to lose sync and frames get dropped. We use closed captions a lot on our setup and I think I'm going to have to bag this new graphics card because it can't do it.<br>
