Streaming Live Video and video card

[ReplayTVGuy]

I have a newbie question. I am looking at upgrading my video card but I don't have a lot of money to spend.

But before I do that I wanted to make sure that I'm not buying something that I don't need.

I don't care to view video on my BTV server (Computer #1) as I will only capture video, and view live TV on computer #2.

My question is, when viewing streaming video on another computer ( computer #2 ), does it matter what video card that I have on the server (computer #1)???

Could it be simply taking from my video capture card ( Hauppauge PCI ) and not using the video card since I'm not displaying the video on the server?

TIA

Yes you are correct, if you are recording on computer1 and viewing on computer2 then the video card on computer1 is not used.
