I ordered  three Nvidia GeForce 8800 Ultra  cards in SLI and bought the  Gateway XHD monitor 30".  Then I soon realized I made a mistake in configuring the machine with 8800 Ultra cards, however, because those cards don't support HDCP on both links in their dual-link DVI connectors. Without that, I can't view encryted HD video content in high definition on a 30-inch LCD. I was thinking just use it to lower resolution, idk. I welcome any suggestions that will maximize the use of my 30" monitor. Thanks.

According to Nvidia's website under product specifications, the complete 8800 (series) supports HDCP, but its listed under their PUREVIDEO HD thing.


NVIDIA PureVideo™ HD Technology2

    * Dedicated on-chip video processor
    * High-definition H.264, VC-1, MPEG2 and WMV9 decode acceleration
    * Advanced spatial-temporal de-interlacing
    * HDCP capable3
    * Spatial-Temporal De-Interlacing
    * Noise Reduction
    * Edge Enhancement
    * Bad Edit Correction
    * Inverse telecine (2:2 and 3:2 pull-down correction)
    * High-quality scaling
    * Video color correction
    * Microsoft® Video Mixing Renderer (VMR) support

2 - Feature requires supported video software. Features may vary by product.
3 - Requires other compatible components that are also HDCP capable.





Perhaps you need to purchase this software from nvidia?

Actually, NM, that link above is just their purevideo technology stuff. Theres no [nvidia] software to purchase or download. Your 8800Ultra card should work.
