Default Fastest graphic card for Windows workstation use (2D, not gaming)
* Dima:

You might take a look at those, which will do hardware decoding of 2D
such as HD movies...

The decoding of video codecs has nothing to do with 2D performance.

I believe there's not much point of getting fastest 3D card if you're
not going to do 3D stuff on it.

Exactly.
