I have a 'BIOSTAR TForce6100-939' MB and an HD5000 HD capture card.
The on-board video does not currently work with any Nvidia driver
version. I'm told that one of the 'next' available drivers will
work. However, I have an Nvidia 5200 PCIExpres x16 card, and this
card is NOT fast enough to display HD video, so I doubt if the
on-board video would either (once Nvidia ships a driver that'll
work). I'm going to have a Nvidia 5600GT card to try in a few
hours... hopefully that'll work.
HD decoding performance should be unaffected by the video card type. If
using XvMC for decoding (which implies that the driver/hardware support
an XvMCSurface large enough for your HDTV image), you'll get the same
XvMC acceleration from any* XvMC-capable card. The bottleneck here is
likely your CPU.

*OK, it is possible for hardware to perform only motion-compensation
support and require software iDCT, but I seriously doubt that any
supported NVIDIA card doesn't do iDCT. If so, it's likely that only
previous-generation cards would be lacking iDCT, so if one 5xxx card
does iDCT, they all should.
