COKEDUDEUSF Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 What exactly is Video Data Rate? If you have a cheap video card can you see a difference between 450 kbps and 700 kbps? If you have a good video card what kind of differences can you see between 450 kbps and 700 kbps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoffeeFiend Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 The video card is irrelevant. The codec decodes the video stream (better bitrate will make for a better picture of course), and then the video card merely outputs that decoded image to your monitor.Fancy gamer cards offer no "picture quality enhancements" that make some bitrates looks better, they all show the image as-is. What those gamer cards do is offer extreme 3D performance, mainly meant for games. So a movie won't look better on a $500 card than it will on a $50 card.
