Jmone, you think you can do me a favor?

My GTX 580 on a PAL DVD 50i ... all Jinc 3 + AR + deinterlacing.

After 45 mins GPU temp is 75 C, fan at 30% (1560RPM) with an average load of 40%.

I don't know ...

Performance of my 580 is very similar to a 660, it just draws twice the power :o

The 660Ti actually doesn't do better than a regular 660 under similar circumstances, it draws more power and shows higher temperatures and I think I know why too. The 660 is a Gk106 and the Ti is a borked Gk104. So I think a 660 should do quite a bit better than my 580.

I think I'll stick with the GT430 for now, just won't be able to deinterlace and will have to settle for Lanczos 3 + AR. Not like thats a punishment :D.

jmone:
Yeah the 660 is not a cheap card.  I did not mind swapping cards around so much prior to then as they were about $100.  It is worth contacting SamuriHL to see how he got a 550Ti going on 60i stuff.  It was (just) fine) on 60i so I upgraded for the sake of only a few bits.

I wonder how well madvr runs on Crossfire.

Unfortunately the low end nvidias (GT 640 f.i.) have SLI disabled. Greedy marketing I guess but ATI does have some good low end cards with CF. For instance, a Sapphire Radeon 6570 Silent 1GB. Passive card, around 50 euros with CF.

A 6570 is about 40% faster than a 430 and placing them in CF doesn't double the speed. A CF combo of a 6570 is still less than half the speed of a 660 so that doesn't quite cut it for the heaviest material.

But ... a 7750 also comes as a passive model these days and also supports CF. 2 of these should perform as good if not better than a 660. 2 of these is about as expensive as a good 660.

But only if CF is supported for videoplayback. I have no idea about that.

jmone:
Do you have any 1080/60i material anyway (US convert videos or shot for TV stuff).  If not a 550Ti is "just" good enought.  Else you don't need something twice as powerful (like the 660), but something say 20% more powerful than the 550i.

I've no idea how well crossfire works with madVR. You'd just have to try...
