Nvidia updated their purevideo but there is no evidence or any of the articles out there that g94 has an advantage over g92.
Please enlighten me if there is some actual facts about these supposed tweaks.
VC1 is a light enough codec to not NEED hardware acceleration... netiher does mpeg2... only 264 needs it.
The whole video acceleration for nvidia and ATI is crap anyways...
1. It has to be a HDDVD or BluRay (so... opening an MKV or AVI file would be only CPU), thus you need a drive that costs hundreds of dollars.
2. It has to be HDCP compliant monitor.
3. It only works with TWO video playback programs in the entire world.
So... 99.999999 repeating % chance you will not every see an ounce of video acceleration with your card.
