Nvidia GT430 replacment

#1

Post by lurch66 » Mon Oct 30, 2017 5:15 am

My trusty Nvidia GT430 bit the dust after more than 8 years. I don't even remember when I bought it. I am looking for some suggestions on a replacement. I do not game on this computer. It is a dedicated HTPC that needs to keep its high WAF. I was thinking of msi/Asus Nvidia GT710 or 730. Thoughts? Do they support dtshd audio? work well with Cox cable card. h.264?

Thanks for any input.

Why mess with success, get another one.

Or are you replacing for dtshd and h.264?

Thought an upgrade would be nice. My current card does both dts hd and mpeg4. I'm not sure were I got the h.264 from. I think the Comcast forum. I know Cox cable uses mpeg 4 on some channels and I remember when I tried to use the built in video card they would not come in. I pulled the trigger on the Nvidia GT 730. Looking forward to the upgrade. Thanks for the advice!
