Soudns very promising, looks like th x1800 series is maturing nicely with drivers, if this is true, perhaps ATI isnt out of the race on this on and the GTX will have more work then people thought..

An anonymous reader writes "FiringSquad has a [0]hands-on look at ATI
Catalyst 5.13 drivers for the Radeon X1800XL, with a focus on video
quality. They say it's the greatest leap in video quality technology for
ATI since the original Mach64-VT. They triple their [1]HQV Benchmark DVD
scores by adding [2]diagonal filtering, [3]unusual cadence detection, and
even noise reduction. On top of the video quality improvements, the new
drivers enable ATI's hardware H.264 support as well as hardware
transcoding. Best of all, Catalyst 5.13 will be a free upgrade scheduled
to be released to the public next week."

whats does the hardware transcoding do? is that like for VIVO cards. like transcoding the video in to something other than mpeg-2?
 
Not to sure i read the reviews on the sites, but didnt gather too much from it really, or nothing that stood out well.
 
-H.264 support as well as hardwaretranscoding- Yes! Now I can watch that Xmen 3 trailer in hi-def with out getting out the Mac.
