Don't know if there are significant changes, but one of the bullet points refers to HD De-interlacing in Purevideo.

That means the card is working fine as well as the BIOS. Only once the Windows nVidia drivers load do you see the problem. The specific problem is the component output option has disappeared and it isn't clear what is being sent on the Pb and Pr outputs. The Y output is still usable, but at 480p. If you remove the Pb Pr outputs, you at least get a black/white image that doesn't have the checkerboard pattern. Since the component output option is missing from the driver UI, the users cannot select component output, only TV output of NTSC is availabe. Since the drivers recognize you have TV output in the first place (those options are not present w/o the dongle connected) the drivers clearly are capable of configuring some aspects of TV usage. Anyway, since you can't configure component, you are also unable to select 720p/1080i because those options are only available once the output method is switched from composite to component. This worked for all unified nVidia drivers prior to 8x.xx (I tested up to 71.xx) so this is clearly an nVidia problem, not the vendor. Now if nVidia changed the way they detect TV out and now need a subsequent BIOS update to match their new detection method, then that IMO is still an nVidia problem, though if I was nVidia I'd just figure out what changed and back it out because updating BIOS could cause more support issues for them in the long run. |
