Picked this up as a low power HTPC solution to install into a M350 case after finding that the case didn't provide enough airflow for an APU build.I'm by no means an expert on video content playback, but tested several 1080p movie trailers to verify that it could output 1080p over HDMI without stutter. Happy to report that it seems to work fine.Only quirk (and this may be a common issue) I found is that it bogs down if the destination source doesn't match the audio format. i.e. A trailer encoded with 2 channel audio had no problems running with a direct connect to my TV, but one encoded with 5.1 would not, but the 5.1 encoded source file played fine once it was played through an HT receiver.The choice of a PCI slot vice PCIe clearly demonstrates that this board is directed more towards general business duties, but the ability to do 1080p playback (IMO) makes it a pretty good choice for small (non gaming) form factor HTPC builds.
