New Video Card, HELP!!!

I am looking into getting a new graphics card for my htpc, but i need to be able to get 854x480 res, but i'm not sure if ATI or Nvidia cards can do that since, i think that the Horizontal res has to be divisible by 8, can anyone help me here? does anyone know of any video cards that can display 854x480? i think some matrox cards can but not sure... HELP!

thanks

Arty

Because that's what 480p on an HDTV is.

Arty, in regards to your question, my friend has an HTPC and he just uses 720x480. It seems to work fine and I don't see any stretching of the image.
