   I'd take that review from Anandtech with a grain of salt. They contradict themselves in a number of ways.

   They state: "NVIDIA believes that they've made the ultimate HTPC card, and that's the line they're going to be using to sell it; gamers need not apply."

   Then this:

   "For a consumer interested in the 3D ecosystem, the GT 430 is definitely a better option than the similarly priced HD 5570."

   Lastly, after pointing out that nVidia is not interesting in selling this as a gaming card, they test it against no less than NINE games. Seriously...how dumb is that?

   Your right TomSEA, i would like to see some HTPC benchmarking, and some VLC video playback analysis.

   I had asumed by "3D ecosystem" they were referring to 3D TV, per the HDMI 1.4a
