Best PCI HTPC graphics card

[squelchy451]

My E350 ITX board has a PCI port, not a PCIe, so I can't use my GT 430.

What card would be good?

What is wrong with onboard? I don't think there is a PCI video card faster than the onboard fusion GPU.

I was under the impression the E350 had pretty damn good video for HTPC usage (excellent video decoder)...

Any card you put in there is going to be severely CPU limited

Ah I see. Thanks! I found a board that had PCI x16 (limited to x4 speeds) for $10 more but i now see that putting my GT 430 wouldn't have had much impact on performance.

I was planning to do some light gaming (TF2) on it but I'll just stick with the on-board graphics and save my money for something else then.

If you knew you were going to be gaming, you bought the wrong board.

There is no longer a "best" PCI video graphics card. The last model nVidia had was either the 9400 or 9500 GT series.

Your onboard APU will far exceed that.

For anyone else wondering the best bet is a Geforce 520 IMO.
