Ge-force 6100 for HD Playback?

Building a htpc and wonder if the geforce 6100 would do for bluray playback (integrated video).

Thanks!
 
It would be more accurate to say it won't do full hardware acceleration of HD video, but whether it'll work, playback at full framerate without stuttering, depends on how fast the CPU is at doing the decoding. A typical modern dual core processor can manage this.

Even so, since it won't do HD decoding, 6100 is a poor choice when the target is a HTPC... but if you had the parts already you might as well try it, lots of video players won't cause the GPU to do the decoding even if it supports HD decoding and IMO, using the video player you want is more important in the end.
 
If you are building from a scratch, a newer integrated nvidia chipset like the 7050PV will do what you want.
 
I'm pretty sure the 8200IGP is barely capable of HD playback, I wouldn't trust the 7050PV.

Get yourself integrated 780G, or geforce 9300/9400, or a dedicated card, imo
 
For Blu-Ray you'd need something that's HDCP compliant anyway, which the 6000 series is most likely not. Too old.

Not sure offhand which integrated video chips are compliant, but I'm sure some googling would point you in the right direction.
