I just upgraded to a gtx 470 and I was amazed at the improvement it had with DG NV Tools. The same clip with the same settings was done on the same machine with different video cards.

The X264 profile used was Divx Plus. Anyway, that's a good improvement over the 9600 GSO I had and the 210 I tried was even lower. I haven't tested the 470 with DXVA decoders yet. I'm only posting this because I didn't think I'd see that much improvement. If you're doing a long encode, those 3-4 fps will come in handy. Also, this is the 32 bit version. I'll test the 64 bit when I get a chance. Also, all the info you gave me in a previous post proved quite helpful neuron2--Thanks.
