No XvMC for GeForce 8 Family
Posted by Michael Larabel on May 03, 2007
If you've been planning on using a NVIDIA GeForce 8500GT or another GeForce 8 family GPU for a HTPC/media center, think again. NVIDIA has no definite plans on supporting XvMC with their Linux display drivers for the GeForce 8 series. The lack of XvMC, or X-Video Motion Compensation, support in the GeForce 8 series is not a bug but NVIDIA's Ken Spencer has stated: "There are no definite plans at this time to provide XVMC support for the 8000 series graphics cards". You can see more information at NvNews and discuss this lack of support in the Phoronix Forums.
