In your described scenario you would have exactly the same quality.

Upgrading a video card provides more capability. If you don't utilize the capability, nothing has changed. In other words, I doubt replacing a GT630 with a GT740 and playing the same non-problematic title is going to look any different than it did provided all you did is swap the cards.
Cheers lads!

No, not a trick question!

Yeah, I have a DELL Dimension 9150 (with a GT630) as a HTPC, since all the material I watch is just 720p anyway. The picture is great, btw!

I also have a DELL Dimension E521 (with a GT740) in reserve.

I wonder what would happen, to the picture, if I needed to change out the graphics card and take the GT740 and put in the Dimension 9150?

Or the other way around (what would happen to the picture) if I needed to take the GT630 and put in the Dimension E521?

Due to their age, I mean - and using the same TV.

What you guys are basically saying is, that - should either of these scenarios occur, I would still have the same picture with the same TV?
