Hi peeps.
Here is a deal.
If you are buying 8600GT thinking you will get full HD experience in your HTPC or home pc then you need to pay attention.
NOT ALL CARD MANUFACTURERS ARE SELLING 8600 GT WITH CRYPTO CHIP WHICH IS REQUIRED TO MAKE THIS CARD HDCP COMPLIANT.
In India we have option of XFX, POV as of now.
Out of these three XFX is NOT HDCP. Not even XXX edition.
Only POV 8600GT is HDPC ready. That explains why it is priced 500 bucks more than XFX.
So better spend 500 bucks more and get POV which will guarantee the full HD experience if and when you upgrade to HD display.
Cheers.
