Just a random question:<br><br>I know the new nvidia cores have the vdpau api now for faster decoding of video streams. I don't know enough about the api, but will we be seeing the ability to transcode and even commercial scan in the future for these cards (maybe distant future)? Kind of like the badaboom encoder? Or is the CUDA api available for linux and make this sort of thing available under linux?<br>
<br>Then are all graphics cards series 8 and above created equal (put build and component quality aside) when it comes to vdpau? Or are some going to run better than others for say 1080p mpeg2 or h264? Is 64bit 256MB VRAM enough for this application? I'll never be doing anything 3d with this card?<br>
