I am thinking to look into getting an nVidia card for my HTPC to get the most out of my movie and video experience. Though the built in Intel GPU works fine, I want to make it better by adding an external card so that I can take advantage of all the VR filters that MC16 has to offer, and keep the internal GPU as a backup.
My HTPC is housed in a smaller case so I need to look into a card that is low-profile (half-height bracket). I have a PCI-E 2.0 x16 slot and a x1 slot. The other x1 holds the Ceton tuner card.
I'm no stranger to nVidia cards, but what do I need to look for specifically for HTPC use? I have read the GT440 and 450 are good, but I don't think they come low profile. And it doesn't have to be an overly expensive card either.
My laptop has the nVidia Quadro FX 570M GPU so I will see of the LAVCUID will work on it as a test.
Thanks for any help!
