Madvr graphics card

(1/4) > >>

Wull:
I am looking to upgrade my GTS450 GPU. The next card I buy I want to be capable of all Madvr can throw at it. So I was wandering which card I should be looking for?  :)

Thanks

From what is being discussed in the MadVR thread, that would be the new graphics cards that should be released in a few weeks.

MadVR keeps adding new features and capabilities that need the capabilities of the most recent cards.  A good example is the new NNED scaling, which reportedly looks great, but is also testing card capabilities.

When you add using OpenCL Error Diffusion instead of Random Dithering, and in some cases high quality deinterlacing, it is hard to find cards with enough oomph.

Another factor is quiet operation - something which matters for Home Theater use, and less so for Gaming.

So, you have cutting edge graphics card for gaming with multiple noisy fans and which take up multiple full height slots -  that might not be the right thing for a small, low profile home theater PC case.

Cheers kstuart.

Sounds interesting...I will hold on for now then.

Fan noise isn't really a problem for me, my HTPC's is in another room. Size will be awkward, it may mean looking at a bigger case?

My friends just picked up an AMD A10 7850K, so far from what he has said his had good results with this. I wander if this is the way to go?

The madVR thread can be found at:

but of course go towards the end... there has been some discussion of recent cards vs madVR requirements.

Thanks  :)
