The good folks over at Warp2Search put up this story this morning. I am not sure what all the hub bub is about with the Video card, but from what I read so far I don't like it! This story, if accurate will be bad publicity for Nvidia. It seems that hardware acceleration is "broken" in the 6800 series card. It will be fixed with a combination of a driver upgrade which is ok, but according to this newspost you also have to buy their new DVD decoder! What the heck?!
| If you already didn't know, but Nvidia's GeForce 6800 AGP series of Card's may have had almost all video acceleration in hardware disabled by an internal flaw. The only way to First check out TechReport for more Info on the flaw! Then you might want to sign up to the nvidia DVD decoder petiton to try and get the DVD decoder from nvidia for free for the owners of 6800 card's. |
Like they say over at Warp2Search, please read the links to the TechReport page and the petition is here. Is this a legitimate claim that we are reading about? If so, what is Nvidia thinking?
