Cyberlink Corp. has announced that its PowerDVD Ultra software, the only retail software to support playback of Blu-ray Disc, HD DVD and DVD media now has support for NVIDIA's second generation PureVideo® HD (VP2) architecture on NVIDIA's latest GeForce 8500/8600 series graphics cards.
PowerDVD Ultra uses the PureVideo hardware engine to power superior H.264 decoding technology, providing owners of NVIDIA GeForce 8500/8600 series graphics cards the benefit of dramatically reducing CPU utilization when executing high-definition video decoding and playback.
"With our ongoing collaboration with NVIDIA to drive high-definition video technology, CyberLink is now able to provide both PowerDVD Ultra and NVIDIA GeForce 8500/8600 series graphics cards users with an exceptionally smooth high-definition video decoding and playback experience," said Alice H. Chang, CEO of CyberLink Corp.
"We are ecstatic that Cyberlink PowerDVD Ultra supports the new PureVideo HD processing engine on NVIDIA GeForce 8600 and GeForce 8500 graphics cards," said Scott Vouri, NVIDIA General Manager of Multimedia. "Now even users with mainstream PCs will be able to experience the beauty and detail of Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD movies."
