I wonder if they've fixed HDWMV acceleration on 6600GTs yet.

IQ seems to be slightly improved with these

nVidia seem to be releasing a lot of betas lately, when are they gonna bring out some new official whql ones? Guessing when the 7900 is released i hope, although the 81.98's seem to be doing me fine...

Support for high definition H.264 hardware decode acceleration on GeForce 6 and 7 series GPUs.

Thats great and definetely a step in the right direction, but as far as im aware, there is still no decoder available which uses Nvidia GPU acceleration, although i expect a purevideo update soon to fix that.

ultim · 3 Mar 2006 at 09:32

looks like purevideo have been updated with hd gpu support.

Version: 1.02-196
Release Date: March 2, 2006

Purevideo will, and will soon be bundled free with NV gfx cards.

They're busy watching their hundreds if not thousands of high definition movies. I just can't understand why nvidia have taken so long to implement this.
