      The 6450 is now out, and newegg has a few to choose from.  I need a card to replace my 2600xt, and I want something that I can play 3D bluray with.  I tried a 430GT, but I returned it because no matter what I could not get rid of the stuttering with recordings.  I have read some good things about the 6450, and it sounds like it should be all I need.  I know this card is only 64-bit, and it comes with GDDR3 1gb or GDDR5 512mb, but for HTPC will it matter that it’s only 64-bit?  The 6570 is a little more, but is there any benefit to getting that over the 6450.  I won’t be playing any games on the HTPC.

        We don’t know yet. Have you even found one for sale? I see NewEgg has some Sapphire cards. You might want to wait for selection to get better and a review!

        I’m surprised you had issues with the GT 430. I used it briefly and even with the early drivers, it performed pretty well for HTPC duty. There certainly were no stuttering issues experienced.
