Can anyone inform me of a AGPx8 graphic card that support GPU acceleration? If you visit AMD for downloading the new drivers needed , you will have to download "AMD Catalyst 11.1 Hotfix for Windows 7 / Windows Vista 32-bit Edition". Will a Radeon HD 4650 or 4670 with AMD Catalyst 11.1 Hotfix for Windows 7 / Windows Vista 32-bit Edition drivers work with vlc and support GPU acceleration? Has anyone tested it? I am looking for a new graphic card, for my old pentium 4 - 2.8 mhz to play 10080 and 720 hd videos from. Can anyoneone help me?

None of them work, I think. For full decoding acceleration.

Can you explain me why? acording to "http://wiki.videolan.org/VLC_DxVA2" why will need :
ATI
For ATI GPUs, you NEED Catalyst 10.7, that is just out.
Then, you are required to use a GPU supporting Unified Video Decoder.
We believe you need a GPU supporting UVD2, like HD4xxx, 5xxx or 3200. One might have success with UVD+ GPU, like some HD 3xxx, but this isn't tested.

So a Radeon HD4650 or HD4670 agp version should do. Only thing is the drivers that you should use a hotfix version instead. (AMD Catalyst 11.1 Hotfix for Windows 7 / Windows Vista 32-bit Edition)

Noone has tested, that's all.
I am not sure AGP is fast enough, though...
