question for someone very well informed.

since the video processor is working on the 6600gts i was wondering if as it helps encoding a bunch this will have the same benefits from having two as the frames in doom and the other games have. will it let me encode stuff almost twice as fast or not?

Is hardware encoding functional on any 6X00 card?

The only thing I have read is that wmv decoding is working with the 6600.

umm that didnt make any sense.

Is hardware encoding for Mpeg1/2/4 or WMV functional in the 6600 series of cards? If it is working please provide a link. Last I heard it was broken with nothing but empty promises from NV that it may work sometime in the future.

Video ENCODING works with the 6600? Have a link to those benchmarks? Where is the evidence that this feature is working?

NVIDIA also said the company was working with application vendors to take advantage of the programmable encode features of the GeForce 6800 and 6600.

?This feature just like programmable pixel shaders when they were first introduced, requires additional collaboration with application vendors. The first application that NVIDIA is targeting to support its GPU encode capabilities is Windows Media Center Edition 2005,? NVIDIA?s spokesman said.
