HDCP support on vid cards?

Expand Post »

Hey everyone,

I just got my GeForce 7950GT KO in today, and I noticed it says HDCP Enabled. What is this?

Re: HDCP support on vid cards?

It means that it supports the stupid "content protection" thing that's supposed to stop people from pirating content. Hard for the end-user though, and greatly limits choices.

(But it's actually good that the monitor supports it, because if it didn't, you would be unable to watch the copy-protected shows at all.)
