Hi yall,
So I have boiled down to choosing the 6450 and GT430 for my HTPC rig. Although both support HD Audio, which is my main concern, I am having trouble picking both because the 6450 has no problem with decoding HD Audio. Whereas, from the GT430, from the reviews I read, have lots of problem. The GT430 clearly wins in the benchmarking area, but it fails in the HD audio bitstreaming department. The 6450 also has UVD3 too. I don't really care about the fps, as its for a HTPC rig, but I might one day want to game a bit, so my question is, does the GT430 have trouble with bitstreaming HD Audio to the receiver? Which one should I get? Both have its pros and cons and I just wanted to get some opinions on which one will be better for my purpose.
Thanks
