I believe a 6600GT was mentioned for HDTV on the NVidea side for HDTV.
Are you talking about software accelerated or hardware accelerated?

I believe that wmv-hd is an anectdotal format when it comes to delivery of hollywood movies on optical disks. Currently, MPEG2 playback is most important, and over time, MPEG4 part 10/AVC/h264 (same thing) is what will be most importan. No guarantees, though.

As $50 cards can deliver 1440x1920 pixels at 60Hz for computer use, I take for granted that they can do the same for HD video IF the CPU/system is able to deliver decoded frames?
