I'm curious if there are other factors that lead to the HQV bench test score in a HTPC besides the video card. For instance the Vidabox review has a nvidia 7900 card (which is supposed to be a pretty decent card) and the bench test score was 56/130 (which is a solid player), but not when you compare to one of the better scores lately on a budget dvd player like the oppo 971 which scored 90/130. So is there a way to get a HTPC to have a better test score? stepping up to a nvidia 7950 card? different video codecs? other hardware in the computer that contributes? please let me know.
thanks
