Well I was set on getting an 8500 until I just found out that ATI is basically killing beta driver release. I know that they say that technically they aren't killing beta driver release, but just "restricting it" yeah right, I can see through the big company bull $h!t.

Anyway, now that it looks like I'm going to get some type of GF3 card I was wondering which one have good DVD quality. I've always been used to ATI's DVD quality. I have an AIW Radeon right now (Which STILL has driver issues that no matter what I've tried have never been fixed, not to mention many of my games that lock up randomly due to some ATI dll file that give me BSOD in win2K pro SP2) Are there any GF3's out there that have as good DVD playback as the AIW Radeon? I was thinking of probably getting a Gainward card because I heard that they were really good.

Also I don't plan on buying it until after the price drops from the GF4 release.
