Is have to fit PCI Express, and should be ready foe 3D.

 

I prefer a silent card.

What type of CPU do you have? At the moment I run my PCs with the integrated card in the Intel Core CPUs and the image quality is quite good. Otherwise I would go for a passive ATi 6450

I think you are all set. You already have a "Intel HD Graphics" that you can use straightaway and a "Ati HD 5450". Why do you think you need a new card? Games?

I have some pixel fault(interuption) comming up on HD channels waching TV.

So maybe it can be the buffering gets les and les, and result in a pixel fault.

I have posted the issue another places her to, but i dont knoe what to do.

 

My 512MB card should be god, but i have to start some place to see if its getting better.(im a bit out of things to do :-) 9
