I'm building a rig for VJ-application and I'd like to have my videoclips decoded in hardware to save CPU power for effects/reliability.

I was looking for some dedicated decoder cards like:
http://www.sigmadesigns.com/products/xcard.htm

Which seemed quite nice.

But would it better to buy for example x700-series GPU?

Which/what card would give me most benefits in decoding formatts and connectivity?

Will it be any use to have BOTH on my machine ath the same time? :)
