8800GTX brings HD graphics processing to PC

The GeForce 7 are probably already using PowerDVD to playback video clips encoded in 1920x1080 and has discovered the lower CPU utilisation. This is because the it offloads the CPU and the GPU takes over the job of decoding the HD file.

With the GeForce 8800, HD processing is enhanced with the adding of support of VC-1 and H.264 HD spatial temporal deinterlacing, inverse telecine, noise reduction and edge enhancement.

This is an important step forward as most HDTV do not provide in built preprocessor to process the images. On top of that, all series of 8800 supports HDCP.

According to NVIDIA, the GeForce 8800 scored 128 points in the HQV benchmark using the industry test benchmark HQV.  We will have a run and see if it really can pass some of the most stringent tests e.g. Film Cadence and motion adaptive in our review.
