thanks for the response. got a question do you mind posting system specs so i can compare. also have you tried playing a 1080p evo file off of your hd, if so how did it fare? i believe that where im running into the problem, cant test now b/c my current card 7900gs oc does not like hdcp so i...

so not to be blah but what video card should i pick up. i do not know alot about video so if i could get some suggestions that would be great. once again dont care about gaiming just hdcp compliant and good for hd movie playback. also must be strong enough to play 1080p and 720p mkv files...
