| With NV17M, Nvidia has finally taken upon itself to update one of the most lacking areas of its graphics processors (and no, we're not harping on 2D quality here): hardware acceleration of video/DVD, handled by the new Videp Processing Engine (VPE). Through the VPE, NV17M can now handle inverse quantization in addition to inverse discrete cosine transform, motion compensation, and YUB-RGB color space conversion, all in hardware. This one-ups ATI's entire Radeon line, which has long held the crown for hardware-accelerated MPEG2 decoding. With the less-demanding notebook market as a testbed, we can safely assume that some of this technology will make it into Nvidia's next desktop performance GPU, giving it yet another notch to match or beat the Radeon's multimedia reign. |
