Do all 8500GT's come with full HD acceleration?

Is this true or do all 8600/8500 have it? Mine is a GIGABYTE GV-NX85T256H with HDCP.

True.

yes; my understanding is that it's a standard feature of the gf8 series.

Yes they all come with h.264/VC1 video acceleration (The Matrix HD DVD hits between 30-35% cpu usage on my Gainward 8500GT) but not all come with HDCP.

The 8800 doesnt have h264/vc1 acceleration, just the 8500/8600.
