They also stated that GF100 series (Fermi) would also support 3D Blu-ray. It seems those cards have the newest video processing engine and to my knowledge they are the only ones that are offering full hardware decode on the GPU at this time...
Just an interesting bit of info that I thought was worth sharing with our readers as consumer 3D Blu-ray is going to be getting a lot of attention in 2010 I have a feeling.
Update: Just saw this article - http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/art ... 567133.htm
Over the last few weeks, NVIDIA has successfully demonstrated playback of 3D content encoded with the AVC Multi-View Codec (or AVC-MVC), the codec that is expected to become the foundation for how 3D content is encoded onto Blu-ray discs. 3D Blu-ray content encoded in AVC-MVC can be decoded in real time on select NVIDIA GPUs -- resulting in a home 3D experience that is equal to or better to what is offered in movie theaters today. NVIDIA GPUs that can decode 3D Blu-ray content include the GeForce GT 240 ($99 U.S. MSRP), as well as upcoming next-generation GF100 GPUs based on the NVIDIA "Fermi" architecture. This will allow consumers to build desktop PCs powered by GeForce GPUs and NVIDIA 3D Vision active shutter glasses for under $1000 in total, making them the ideal platform for watching 3D Blu-ray movies, viewing 3D photographs, browsing 3D Web sites, or playing more than 400 PC game titles in 3D.
