[QUOTE="Tau C Seti, post: 29125, member: 16442"] Not really, as far as I understand it. ATI has the AVIVO SW for video, just as nVidia has purevideo. They each have specific API calls on their specific GPU architecture to help encode/decode video (mpeg2, h.263, h.264, etc). This is all still in it's infancy, but we can expect to see enormous progress shortly. These SW releases will increasingly rely on stealing functions that the CPU once handled. The GPU becomes the core of what can be called a software-configurable processor, eventually becoming general-purpose parallel processors. Consider that they can currently process polygon data and other graphics-related traffic faster than what current CPU's can provide. [/QUOTE]
