Any graphics cards released 2009 and onwards will have good-enough video decoding facilities to be, for all intents and purposes, as good as each other for watching 1080p video; provided the CPU isn't a lemon.

My score changed last week, and all I did was clean the PC, though I did briefly have problems with it not booting. Anyway, don't ask, God only knows...:D
