Hello all....
I am building a scratch build HTPC for my bedroom.
Only think it will serve for, will be watching HD movies and series and documentaries stored on its HDD.
I have two GPU available at hand (old one from previous pc, newer one which was a quick replacement for broken card).
1st is Asus EAH5450 1GB DDR3 64bit SILENT
2nd is ENGTS 250 1GB
Which from these two is better for HD watching? I know both can handle 1080p... but which would you take? The newer one with supported HDMI audio out? Or the older one with better (noisier) cooling but without HDMI audio out? Actually this is no concern of mine, as i will be using pc speakers in bed room, so no receiver and no need for HDMI out.
Thank all for input.
Danny
