***The Official 100% HDCP ready video card list.***

[Steve]

There are actually several video cards out right now that are fully HDCP compliant and ready and I thought it
would be a good idea to get a list going for those who are looking for a new video card that are also hoping to
play protected HD content on their PC.

For those of you who do not know what HDCP is I present to you the HDCP Wikipedia page. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDCP)
The short explaination is that HDCP is hardware copy protection for protected HD media playback and
if you want to watch HD content using your new HD DVD or Blu-ray drive you will need a HDCP ready
video card.

I have found no hard proof that these cards are in fact HDCP ready, aside from the fact
that they all have "HDCP" in the card name on XFX's website. I will continue to look around
and if any of you can find me some proof for even one of these, please let me know!

If you find any more HDCP ready video cards please post them here. It would be nice to have proof that
is not on the manufacturer's site (or pasted from the manufacturer's site) if you can provide it.

This a direct copy from the thread I have posted over in the [H]ard|Forums.
I will update this one whenever I update the original one.
