please, help me choose between G400 and v3800TVR

[wild0R]

the "critical" feature for me is this:

when you enlarge (pcx/bmp/...) picture in ACDSee (2x/4x), any RIVA card applies "filtering" (like in 3D) that makes the enlarged picture (or video) smooth at any reasonable viewing resolution.

my (current) G200 just doubles pixels resulting in "blocky" picture/video (those game/film previews, you all know what i'm talking about...)

is G400 missing this (maybe not-so important) feature?

that's the only thing that stopping me from buying G400 now.

tv-in/out quality is important too, but i can live with 800x600 v3800tvr provide.
(+ it have SECAM patch)

p.s. thanks in advance to all people replied...

Huh? Can anyone confirm this can be done?

Not true. Please take a screenshot of the G200 playback and then again with hardware acceleration turned off (in Windows settings) and see the difference.

that's the only thing that stopping me from buying G400 now.

You don't seem to have a problem.
