Just to update invade anyone else is looking to do the same. I put in the 470 nag everything is working great with the exception of bluray playback. I am getting kidder in powerdvd 10 that I am trying to straighten out. The 470 I have is the palit with dual fans and is working out really well for htpc use it is very quiet, so much so the first few times I turned on the htpc I was worried cause I didn’t hear it lol the 4890 was louder on boot and would rev up everytime. Games play a little smoother and I noticed vsync actually works across the board when forced on, something I noticed in some games with the ati card

I had seen all different conflicting reviews on the power usage when it came to idle performance, but in the end they all indicated under load it would certainly be higher.

So far it is going well with my testing. just played back a few clips here and there of DVDs and MKV, but I am getting judder in BluRays with PowerDVD 10. Still have to investigate what is going on there and possibly tweak some settings.

Also played around with 3D Vision Discover for a while, it’s pretty interesting but it seems like the iz3D worked better on my 4890. It takes for freaking ever to try and tweak the settings for each game and find a happy medium on either one though.

yeah my receiver only does DD and DTS no HD Audio 🙁

well the 4890 is overkill for a HTPC too lol but not for games. I’d love to be able to afford a 3D LCD HDTV then the 470 would really shine if I could use the shutter glasses for games, but since that is a few years down the road I’m not so worried about that.
