ATI and NVIDIA have both been making real efforts to improve the quality of their video playback in recent months. With the increasing popularity of Media Center and the imminent availability of high definition content on Blu-Ray and HD-DVD, having the best video features is now becoming as important as the best 3D performance.

With that in mind, we wanted to take a look at two video-capable cards. Both have silent coolers, so that your entertainment won't be ruined by fan noise. Both have mid-range gaming performance for when you want some interactive fun, and both are capable of decoding high definition video and enhancing standard definition.

However, neither card has HDCP for full resolution, digital output of protected HD content - those cards are still a way away.
