| | Disabled HDCP chip on current 7900GTX cards - GameDev.Net Discussion Forums (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08) |
 | | Nobody seems to know why the cards are shipping with the chip disabled and if they are to remain permanently disabled, but there is question as to whether the HDCP chip is disabled because of the BIOS or because drivers don’t support it yet. |
 | | The next batch of cards is scheduled to ship late July or early August and reports suggest that they will have the HDCP chip enabled for full HDCP compliance, but it's not yet clear what exactly NVIDIA's plans are. |
