I also switched from dxr3 to softdevice with a matrox G450 about 10
months ago.

For me the G450 has been a lot more stable.  With the dxr3 I had
crashes, OSD failures etc etc.  I was upgrading my vdr dxr3plugin
version every week or so hoping things would improve.

Reading the lists it would seem that the dxr3 solution has improved:
perhaps I jumped ship just a bit early...  Even if this is so I am still
glad I converted.

Regardless, IMHO softplay makes softdevice a superior solution.
