Hi,
2 year ago I bought a PC (received some advise here ), and it fullfilled my requiremets (mainly watch movies, I don't play games really) with no problems till now that I started watching lots of HD movies, and also changed the LCD (Samsung LN37A450 37" working @ 1360x768px through HDMI cable) to a LED TV:
Samsung UN46D6500 46-Inch 1080p 120HZ 3D LED TV, which looks great, but sometimes I'm having some issues.
When I'm reproducing some HD videos it produces some horizontal lines (on the lower third of the screen mainly), like it isn't able to refresh as fast as the image/video goes... below the line it seems to be a fraction delayed some times (that's what I'm imagining is happening). It happens mainly on fast scenes, or after the image changes completely (ie if it is a slow panning on a landscape, it has no problem).
I made the test of lowering the display on the Nvidia X Server settings to 720p, but I still have the same issues (actually when I reproduced HD movies on my previous 720p LCD I also had the issue but I think it was less clear, maybe the bigger screen makes more obvious the artifact). I'm still having the output through a HDMI cable.
I'm currently running Lubuntu 11.10 with Nvidia recommended propietary drivers.
So the question is: considering my current system, where do you think is the bottle neck... and how I could probable solve this issue without having to buy a complete new pc.
My system:
ASUS P5Q - Intel? P45 / ICH10R
CPU INTEL CORE 2 DUO E8500 - 3.16 GHZ 1333 MHZ DUAL CORE BOX
MSI V146-09S GEFORCE N9800GT T2D512-OC PCIE 16X DX10 512MB
RAM Corsair XMS2 DDR2 2Gb (2x1Gb) PC6400C4DHX
Samsung UN46D6500 46-Inch 1080p 120HZ 3D LED TV @1080p through HDMI cable
Seagate Barracuda ST32000542AS SATA 3Gb/s 2TB 5900 2TB Hard Drive
HDD 500 gb sata2 western digital 7200rpm
TOPOWER M2 600W ATX 12V2.0 20+4 PINES BLACK
Antec Three Hundred Case
Thanks in advance!

PS: posted on graphics card since my first thought was to buy a new graphic card, but maybe the bottle neck is elsewhere (RAM?). What do you think?
