Best card for 1080p HTPC

I bought this card strictly for Blu-ray/1080P HTPC output to my 60'' Sony HD tv. I am very impressed with its quality and power. It is definately worth the money, the HD output is amazing. It outperforms PS3's bluray video quality output. Don't buy onboard HDMI motherboards because that will not cut it for HTPC. You must must must must have this card for HTPC.

None so far

I suggest you don't consider buying mATX or ATX mobo with HDMI thinking they will output 1080p with good quality.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW

I'll let you know when I get my replacement...

Installed the card and used Catalyst 8.2 (and 8.3). I set my screen resolution to 1280x720 and everything seemed fine, but when I restart Windows (XP sp2), my resolution is reverted to 640x480 and I have to set it again every time. Also, when I load up a game (A18) and set display properties on there for widescreen 1280x720, it's fine....for a second, then full screen goes to windowed mode and when I exit the game, my screen is back to 640x480. RMAed....

My previous card was a Radeon 9700 Pro and I was able to do 1280x720 on this monitor fine. Also tried Geforce 6600 and that holds my settings and also works flawlessly with A18.
