Example of an older PC playing an H.264 video and performing Compiz desktop effects. The Nvidia GeForce 9400 GT video card makes it all possible. The processor is an old AMD 64 3200+ Athlon. Without the GeForce this PC struggled to playback any video. With the GeForce video card this PC has no trouble at all playing video.

@Sansui350A very true, along with GDDR5 via an AMD Radeon HD 5770 and above and the GeForce GTX 460 and above. not bad cards even with a 2.2 ghz cpu and 4 gb of ram

One other thing: GDDR3 is WAY better than GDDR2 on ANY Graphics card... something to take into account when choosing one; just though I should mention it.
