But I get an 8% increase in video conversion time:( I'm guessing the extra 512MB of slow graphics memory is the problem?? CPU = i5-750 @ 2 . 67GHz RAM = 8GB 1333MHz 9-9-9-24 OS = Win7pro64 I'm beginning to think that integrated graphics is the way to go . The wasted $150 would've gone nicely towards an i5-2500k + Z68	BBCmicro (15761)
1226270	2011-08-26 23:23:00	Probably because the GT440 is Nvidia isnt it? And it probably supports CUDA (for faster video conversion), whereas (I dont think) the ATI does. No ATI card does	Speedy Gonzales (78)

1226272	2011-08-26 23:37:00	Drivers maybe?	Speedy Gonzales (78)
1226273	2011-08-26 23:43:00	The problem is not the drivers - I upgraded to the latest. I also installed Nvidia's SmartDoctor but the option to manually manage memory etc is greyed out. The card is Cuda	BBCmicro (15761)
1226274	2011-08-27 04:02:00	To make matters worse a favourite bit of freeware (Streamclip, for joining video clips/ad removal from .mpg captures without re-encoding) wouldn't work with the Nvidia card. Swapped back to the ATI card and it came right. The software didn't crash with NVidia, it just refused to render on-the-fly	BBCmicro (15761)
1226275	2011-08-27 04:27:00	I have an HD5450 fanless in this computer with a dual core duo E7500, 4Gb DDR2 and I get a graphics experience of 4.9. But I don't do games or video rendering and I only got the card so I could plug in a second monitor and it was cheap	gary67 (56)
