GPU recommendation for ROHQ

(1/4) > >>

BrandonT:
Will any of the current integrated GPU/CPU's run ROHQ? Looking to build a new htpc and update to the newest J River and was hoping I wouldn't need to get a separate videocard since I want to keep the fans down to a single one on the cpu. I'd only be watching DVD and Bluray>mkv rips.

glynor:
Borderline with some, but probably not.

JimH:
I think the I7's with the 4000 video work with ROHQ.

fitbrit:
The new AMD Kaveris are supposed to have a superior graphics engine to that of the Intel crop.

It depends on what kind of scaling settings you plan to use.  The newer haswell integrated graphics (4600 and above) can run many of the lower-end scaling algorithms without difficulty, but have a hard time on the higher tap-based scalers, especially on interlaced content.  If you want to use the best scaling (Jinc) you need a discrete card, an nvidia 660 or equivalent.

Check out these threads for some people's experiences with the 4600:

The take away: with a HD 4600 he could use one of the nicer scalers (lanczos) with some content, but not with others.  Some folks do run ROHQ with the older integrated graphics (HD4000), but it limits your options.
