  Do you have any problems on your OC 9500GT with overlays?  I'm curious if
the newer/faster cards are capable of overlays without causing the video to
stutter.  Due to a forced upgrade situation, I just had to buy a new card.
Using the information found here: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/NVidia_Cards, I
purchased a 567MHz 8400GS because it sounded like the best solution (and it
was fanless).

  I just got it last week and plugged it in, I'm bummed out because the card
does fine with the HD content but when I bring up overlays like program
information or closed captions, it can't hang.  I start to lose sync and
frames get dropped.  We use closed captions a lot on our setup and I think
I'm going to have to bag this new graphics card because it can't do it.
