Graphics Card Upgrade

[isaacmorseMI]

All of them are listed are HDCP ready and one is HDCP compliant, what is the difference between ready and complaint? I need to be able to use DirecTV2PC with no issues

Also, my monitor is 1920 x 1080, not the 1920 x 1050 like most monitors. These card have no issue displaying 1080p?

Yep all of those should display 1080p no problem. Here are a couple of links on HDCP ready and HDCP Compliant.

Ended up getting the Radeon HD 6770 1GB. Was thinking about the 6790. Didn't need anything better than that since I am not a gamer. But I finally get the true HD image on my HD monitor now and there is no more lag in refreshing.

Windows score is now 7.6 for all graphics

I use those and this one because you can see the benchmark scores AND the cost for a best bang for the buck comparison.
