Geeks.com sent us over one of the best video cards on the market today: the GeForce 86000GTS with 256 MB VRAM and a crazy fast 675 MHz engine clock. The card is on the high side of the middle-end graphics cards compared to others available and it's currently selling below $200. In this article we will test the multimedia performance of the card as used in video playback and rendering support rather than its already well-benchmarked multiple times so far and well-known gaming abilities.

Just out of curiosity - given the Nvidia 8600 a go with *NIX? it would be interesting to see what/how it performs - especially with Solaris.
Regarding "Pure Video" I assume that is a Windows only feature - they haven't/won't make it available using OpenGL on supported *NIX platforms :-(
