Associates explained that video card on the base of chip g80 not support HDCP for the resolution HDTV of class 1080p. Problems consists in the fact that working with these HDCP video card do not support the function dual-Link, which ensures compatibility with the high resolutions. Therefore with the utilization of HDCP owners are forced to examine video in resolution 720p. Those hardly paid $600-700 after video card the owners of plasma panels with the support of HDTV the sound reproducers Of blu-Ray or HD-DVD will want to be reconciled with such inconveniences.
we should note that the video chip series g7x and R5xx have similar limitations, without supporting HDCP for high resolutions, but real competitor G80 in this sphere can become the video chip r600, which company AMD is assembled to release in the end of January. Associates claim that R600 will support the combination OF HDCP + dual-Link.
Problem with the support of resolution 1080p with the utilization of HDCP can be solved after the release of new revision video card on the base of chip g80, which can acquire by the chip NVIO. For this NVIDIA is not the first case with the presence of problems for the support of formats by their video cards - chips NV40 and NV45 have not supported the hardware decoding h.264 and WMV9. We hope that the low-end graphical solutions of family geForce 8xxx can avoid such problems .
