Is a discrete nV card which can utilise VDPAU still much more beneficial overall than relying on Intel HD?
I'm talking purely from a VA (encoding/decoding etc) perspective, not 3d acceleration.
Or is there no longer any compelling advantage nV cards have in this area?
I'm looking at something like this*
But am wondering if there's any good reasons to bother any more?
P.S.
Wondering why the nV sub-forum is heaps smaller than the AMD/ATI one on Phoronix.
Is that because most of the nV binary and open-source community is over at nVnews?
*Alas the OEM GT 430 seems slightly better, not sure why that is?
