GeForce 6150, etc.

So I am in hte process of building a light gaming/dvr type machine for myself and I was wanting to pick up an nVidia GeForce 6150 motherboard with the integrated graphics. My point for this is not wanting to buy a video card that won't be able to be HDCP compatible. So I was going to use the 6150 to hold me over until then.

I don't game at the highest settings, probably medium on no around 1280x1024. Will the 6150 suffice for around 4-6 months until I can find an HDCP compatible card?

not at 1280x1024 in anything newer than UT2004

 

[dwdty9]

would i be better off just buying a cheap 6600 vanilla card until then?

Buy the card you want and forget HDCP. By the time it becomes a problem, it will be hacked and therefore, a null issue.

I'm building a system tonight with a 6150 built in, but plan on ordering an X800GTO2 or 6800GS later tonight... I figure I can scrape by in BF2 for a couple days on 800x600 with everything set to LOW.. maybe I'll get acceptable frame rates, but I'm not expecting anything else. Like the other guy said, anything newer than UT2K4 won't run so hot.
