video card for only watching videos
- by Nothing 2 Lose
I recently quit gaming so I took out my (GeForce GTX 550 Ti) video card and switched back to the (cheap) integrated card because I don't want the dedicated card using up power & making unnecessary heat/noise.
But now I get lag when I watch high-res movies, or when I open several videos at the same time, but I don't want to go back to my (big/expensive) video card because that seems like overkill.
What is the smallest/cheapest card which will only be good enough for watching videos without lagging ? (but not for gaming)
PS. My CPU is: AMD Phenom 9850 Quad-Core Processor
