Nvidia to launch 7900-series cards with HDCP support

[onethreehill]

"Nvidia will launch upgraded versions of the GeForce 7900 GTX and GeForce 7900 GT graphics cards that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) between July and the middle of August, with the cards continuing to be manufactured by Flextronics, according to sources at Taiwan graphics card makers."

Nice, I currently have a stock of Sapphire Radeon X1600Pro 256MB GDDR3 w/HDMI.

semi-useless upgrade but an upgrade none the less.

They will probably fix the capacitor problem on both cards, too.
But anyway this is too late. A lot of people already have their 7900 or x1900 series cards and if they dont they are holding off for the r580+, g80, r600, and g90.
This update will only sell well if they fix the problems on the 7900 series and cut he price a lot for the budget market.

I wonder if these cards will work in SLI with older versions. They probably will, but you will probably lose HDCP compatibility
